Annotation -
In this language course, we explore Austria through various media formats such as graphic novels, newspaper articles, podcasts, and program booklets, while specifically enhancing our oral language skills in the foreign language. The focus is on working with stories and dialogues that reveal social realities, intercultural topics, and different perspectives. We practice retelling and continuing stories orally, describing the characters involved, and expressing their feelings, thoughts, and opinions verbally. Production-oriented tasks such as role-plays, developing our own monologues and dialogues, as well as storytelling from new perspectives, promote our narrative skills and active language use.

At the same time, we reflect on the presented content together to work out social and cultural-political contexts and engage in discussions with one another. This is how we combine language work with intercultural learning and provide a diverse access to living together in Austria.
