2nd funding phase: Thinking texts dynamically
This page contains automatically translated content.
Text complexity as a dynamic variable and text comprehension as a creative process of simplification, further development and variation of texts
Texts are dynamic entities. The sub-project takes this fundamental characteristic at its word: text comprehension can be understood as a targeted, reflective process of simplification, variation and transformation of texts and in this sense can be acquired as text competence. For this reason, sub-project P37 focuses on the further development of text simplification methods as strategies for text comprehension in Spanish lessons. We see this understanding as a change of concept: away from the text as a finished static quantity that has to be dealt with, towards the text as a dynamic quantity that can be creatively changed.
Overview
The text database KastELE (Kasseler Text- und Aufgabendatenbank Español Lengua Extranjera) plays a central role as a digital tool. Database-based events and workshops link our project with teacher training. As the project focuses on Spanish texts and text comprehension in Spanish lessons, international cooperation is planned. Interdisciplinary collaboration will be strengthened through the systematic use of jointly developed diagnostic tools. The methodological guiding principle is the implementation of a sustainable interdisciplinary diagnostic procedure with regard to formative evaluation in a specific course and over the entire duration of the course.
