Abstract

This article presents teaching materials to promote the development of discourse skills. It provides an introduction by bringing together theoretical perspectives and the results of the research project Conveying values and culture in GFL courses at the University of Graz. In addition to that, reference is made to the objectives of the research project and to the quantitative and qualitative data collection. It will be shown that the teaching materials are based on the findings of the empirical study. The main focus is on the question of how GFL teachers can contribute to make it easier for GFL learners to deal with real-world problems and to participate in social, cultural and political life. In this context, activities and exercises on the topic of tolerance and equality will be described. In sum, the article uncovered a need to provide methods and strategies that can develop the ability to engage in German language discourses.
