Lehrwerkbegutachtung für den frühen Fremdsprachenunterricht

Abstract

The subject of the article is the development of a proprietary catalogue of criteria helpful in making decisions about the selection of textbooks and teaching materials for learning foreign languages at the first stage of education. The catalogue was prepared based on an analysis of the methodological assumptions of early foreign language teaching and the criteria for evaluating textbooks at higher levels of education, which should also be taken into account when assessing teaching materials intended for teaching foreign languages to children. The analysis of methodological principles focuses primarily on the principles of language competence education and the appropriate selection of teaching content. It allows concluding to what extent the selected didactic material supports the proper development of a foreign language in children and whether it engages them emotionally.
