Abstract
While driving curriculum design in and beyond languages, intercultural competence remains an elusive concept because of its broad scope. This article makes this competence tangible for the teaching of German by exploring interaction patterns in German that can be taught and learned. To illustrate this end, I discuss a particular speech act, namely requesting, and some of its basic interactional structures in the German‐speaking world. I suggest teaching strategies, guidelines for lesson planning and materials design and offer some sample teaching materials.
