OER Landscapes Linguistics

The teaching unit was designed for pupils at school. It combines indoor and outdoor learning situations. Students document local linguistic landscapes and then work with them in the classroom.
The main learning objective is to promote students’ language awareness and multilingual competence: by exploring local linguistic landscapes and working with them, students will become actively aware of the linguistic diversity in their environment as well as their own linguistic repertoire
It is particularly beneficial if there are students in the class who speak a language other than the one studied at school.
