The Routledge Handbook of German Language Teaching evaluates and addresses multifaceted, multilevel needs of students and teachers within teaching German as a foreign, as well as a second, language through taking a transcultural approach. Each contribution starts with the author situating themselves in the geographical and institutional context in which they teach as well as the way in which they teach, for example, in person or online. This acknowledges the Handbook's internationally widespread contributors, from countries with different histories in terms of cultural, linguistic and educational diversity more generally and the teaching of German in particular. The chapters reflect their voices and consider language learners as people who have their own identities. Material such as plays, poems, short literary texts, rap, singing and drawing are discussed in this book as being influential for language learners from beginner level and beyond. This book proposes that 'learning' happens by both the teachers and the learners going on a journey and both changing the outlook on each other and themselves along that journey. Alongside this, questions are asked with respect to curricula and the relation between speaking German and 'belonging' in a German-speaking country. This Handbook will primarily appeal to teachers and instructors of German, as well as those training to become German language instructors. Moreover, the book will appeal to researchers interested in the linguistic and theoretical aspects of German language teaching.

Five countries, five languages, one aim: to show that it makes sense to learn more than just one foreign language. This idea was at the beginning of the International Symposium on Foreign Language Teaching and Learning Research, which was jointly hosted by the Goethe-Institut Tokyo and the German Academic Exchange Office (DAAD) Tokyo, and which this volume documents. Based on the latest findings of cutting-edge research, the symposium aimed to examine the potential of multilingualism and plurilingualism for individuals, educational institutions, and societies; it also aspired to establish and strengthen synergies between researchers and teachers of the five languages which are the most popular second languages after English in Japan: Spanish, Korean, German, French and Chinese. However, it not only targeted the research community itself but also had the ambition to bridge the gap between the research community and the general public interested in foreign language learning and research. We believe this multi-faceted approach – both in terms of the different languages involved and the audience – is also reflected in the articles compiled in this book, which span from scientific papers to an interview with Kawashima Eiji, a member of the Japanese national soccer team.

Each chapter comes with a complete German-English dictionary, with a special emphasis on collocative phrases (high frequency word combinations), short sentences and expressions.

Five countries, five languages, one aim: to show that it makes sense to learn more than just one foreign language. This idea was at the beginning of the International Symposium on Foreign Language Teaching and Learning Research, which was jointly hosted by the Goethe-Institut Tokyo and the German Academic Exchange Office (DAAD) Tokyo, and which this volume documents. Based on the latest findings of cutting-edge research, the symposium aimed to examine the potential of multilingualism and plurilingualism for individuals, educational institutions, and societies; it also aspired to establish and strengthen synergies between researchers and teachers of the five languages which are the most popular second languages after English in Japan: Spanish, Korean, German, French and Chinese. However, it not only targeted the research community itself but also had the ambition to bridge the gap between the research community and the general public interested in foreign language learning and research. We believe this multi-faceted approach – both in terms of the different languages involved and the audience – is also reflected in the articles compiled in this book, which span from scientific papers to an interview with Kawashima Eiji, a member of the Japanese national soccer team.
