Teaching German as a second foreign language at school. Methods of teaching German as a second foreign language at school

Sections: Foreign languages

The choice of German to study at school as a second foreign language (hereinafter FL 2) is not accidental and is explained by the intensification of cooperation between Russia and Germany in commercial and professional life, increased personal mobility, increased contacts with German culture, and the opportunity to exchange students and teachers. German is typically a second foreign language. As practice shows, three out of four who study German as a FL 2 studied English as their first foreign language and can use the experience, knowledge, skills and abilities that can be transferred to a second foreign language and greatly facilitate its study.

When teaching German as a FL 2 after English, it is necessary to rely on the general principles that apply when teaching any foreign language. Despite the fact that these principles have much in common, they still have some modification in relation to FL 2, taking into account the specificity of the learning conditions, for example, the presence of three languages ​​​​contact in the learning process (mother tongue, FL 1 and FL 2), extensive experience in learning a non-native language, etc.

The most essential principles are the following:

1. As with teaching any foreign language, communicative goals predetermine the general methodological approach to learning. But since students already have experience in studying FL 1, mastering FL 2 is carried out by them more consciously, they can compare both certain linguistic phenomena of FL 1 and FL 2, and the organization of the learning process. Students studying FL 1 and FL 2 have more developed reflection (a look at themselves from the outside, the desire to give themselves an account). That is why the general methodological principle in teaching FL 2 can be defined as communicative-cognitive, where the cognitive aspect is subordinate to the communicative one, and it manifests itself where it is necessary to find any analogies that facilitate learning, or, conversely, to identify differences in order to avoid interference.

2. The entire educational process should be focused on the personality of the student, on his development, independence, on taking into account his capabilities, needs, interests.

In teaching FL 2, there are even more prerequisites for this than in teaching FL 1, due to the presence of experience in learning a foreign language, a later start of training (from the seventh grade of a school with in-depth study of English) and, thus, a more conscious approach to language learning . Thus, it is possible to take into account the individual characteristics of the student and differentiate learning, taking into account the level of learning of a foreign language 1. For some students, it is necessary to create conditions for faster progress, while others need to be given the opportunity for repetition and training.

3. The entire educational process should have a socio-cultural orientation, but there is a specificity here too: the early use of authentic materials (authentic texts are given from the first lesson and reliance on the mutual influence of three national cultures).

4. The work on mastering specific language means should turn into speech actions aimed at solving certain communicative tasks, which are indicated in the tables placed at the beginning of each chapter of the textbook and provide speech interaction (interactivity) of schoolchildren.

One of the means of enhancing verbal interaction and creating real or imaginary conditions for this is the use of project methodology and role-playing games. Education is active in nature.

5. All four main types of speech activity: listening, speaking, reading, writing - must be developed in conjunction with each other. Specific for teaching FL 2 is that reading is taught from the very beginning on authentic texts and has a large share, because. schoolchildren know the Latin script, master the rules of reading faster, although there is a danger of interference with the German language. They know how to work with a foreign language text, they rely more on linguistic conjecture.

6. A comparative (contrastive) approach in teaching FL 2 is also very important. Schoolchildren have the opportunity to identify differences between languages ​​and look for similarities in them. When studying FL 2, reliance on the native language and FL 1, especially on English, is of great help, since German and English belong to the same group of languages ​​- Germanic and have much in common.

7. The principles of economy and intensification of teaching FL 2 are very important. The process of mastering FL 2 can be significantly intensified if students have a high level of English proficiency.

What helps to save time and intensify the learning process:

1) knowledge of the Latin script reduces the period of alphabetization and reduces it to explaining and mastering the differences in sound-letter correspondences in German and English, the graphic and sound image of the word;
2) the presence of a significant potential vocabulary. Words of the English language that are similar to German, direct borrowings from English, internationalisms facilitate the process of learning to read and contribute to a faster mastery of German vocabulary;
3) rapid progress in the field of reading contributes to a more rapid development of socio-cultural competence;
4) when mastering all language tools, including grammatical ones, the orientation phase when teaching FL 2 can be shortened and can be carried out independently, for example, using tasks like "Derive a rule".

The intensification of the very initial stage of training and the entire educational process as a whole is an important prerequisite for its success and effectiveness.

8. It is necessary to systematically monitor the successful progress in teaching FL 2, to develop reflection in schoolchildren, the ability for self-control and self-esteem.

German as a FL 2 has been taught in our school since 1990. Students have the opportunity to choose which foreign language (French or German) they will study as a FL 2 . Education of FL 2 starts from the 7th grade and lasts 5 years. As practice has shown, such terms of teaching the German language as FL 2 are the most effective and efficient. Already at the beginning of learning FL 2, students are convinced that German and English have a lot in common:

1) Latin script;
2) in the field of vocabulary and word usage;
3) in the structure of a simple sentence (the presence of a linking verb);

modal verbs;

müssen - must, to have to
können - can, to be able to
dürfen - may, to be allowed to
wollen - to want / wish to, be intended to
sollen - to be supposed to
mögen - to like to

the use of articles;

the Clown = der Clown ( m)
a clown = ein Clown
the car = das Auto ( n)
a car = ein Auto
the garage = die Garage( f)
a garage = eine Garage

To organize knowledge, you can make the following table:

the use of relative pronouns in complex sentences with attributive clauses;

Einige Relativpronomen CCC Some relative pronouns
Singular, Personen Persons (Singular)
die Frau, die… the woman,
der Mann, der… the man who…
das kind, das… the child,
Plural, Personen Persons (Plural)
Die Leute, die… the people who…
Singular, Sachen Things (Singular)
die Kiste, die… box,
der Ball, der… the ball, that/which…
das auto, das… the car,
Plural, Sachen Things (Plural)
die Spielsachen, die… the toys, that/which…

imperative mood;

I CCC II
Hore
Listen to the conversation!
Denk an Deine Frau!
Think of your wife!
Helft Euren Freunden!
Help your friends!

Future tense;

All this can serve as a support in mastering the German language as a FL 2, especially at the initial stage of learning.

A large number of visually recognizable words provide effective help: internationalisms, borrowings, for example: die Donau, der Norden, der Süden, der Osten, der Westen, der Chef, die Ziffer, der Laborant, der Elektriker, der Soziologe, der Reporter etc. Sociocultural information can also serve as a subject for comparison.

We use UMK I.L. Bim and L.V. Sadomova “Brucken” (German after English), as it involves teaching German from the 7th grade; At the same time, teaching German as a FL 2 is based on English, which is very important in the conditions of our school. WMC meets the task; it is designed for middle-aged students, colorful, interesting, authentic, well thought out, supplemented with audio cassettes, which greatly simplifies the acquisition of German pronunciation. UMK itself is named very interestingly and with deep meaning. Already the beginning of the textbook gives students the opportunity to comprehend the name of the teaching materials. “Brucken! Was ist gemint? Bridges! What does it mean?” The answer to this question reveals the meaning of foreign languages:

Fremdsprachen sind Brucken
zur Verstandigung,
zur Communication!
Brucken von Kontinent zu Kontinent, von Land zu Land,
von Volk zu Volk,
von Mensch zu Mensch,
zwischen culturen!

The grammatical and lexical exercises developed in it in an unobtrusive game form help to better assimilate new material, making the study of FL 2 an interesting and exciting experience. The main advantage of the textbook is that teaching FL 2 is based on knowledge of FL 1, using them as a language base. [I] This support not only facilitates the assimilation of new language material, but also stimulates the interest of children, gives confidence, showing them that learning a new foreign language is not such a difficult thing: if you know one, you just need to boldly rely on your knowledge.

It is necessary to encourage the student in every possible way to seek support in his own knowledge and experience, also using the tips given in the textbook and the recommendations of the authors, such as:

"Learning German will go faster and easier if:

  1. rely on similarities with FL 1 - English, as well as find support in the native language;
  2. use a linguistic guess (about the meaning of a word, grammatical form), based on the context, on the familiar parts of the word;
  3. notice differences in linguistic phenomena and ways of expressing thoughts;
  4. transfer the ability to work into a new language (find the meaning of a word in a dictionary, use a paraphrase, perform various exercises, etc.);

The textbook is designed in such a way as to force students to analyze, compare and find common ground in these two languages. Characteristically, students find words of a common root in English and German that are not even listed in the textbook. So, for example, when studying the topic “Das Aussehen”, I suggested that the children, using a drawing of a girl with the inscriptions “das Haar, das Auge, die Nase”, etc., choose those words that have common roots in the two languages. After analysis, it turned out that only two words (das Bein and das Gesicht) do not have common roots in English and German.

A very interesting type of work is also the projects proposed in the textbook. For example, making collages about Germany and Russia increases students' interest in the country of the language being studied and allows them to learn more about it. The project “ZiS” - Zeitung in der Schule, the photo series “Der Gewalt - keine Chanse”, the project “Wandmalerei” - provide an opportunity to expand knowledge about Germany, about the life of young people in Germany, its problems.

In the chapter "Deutschkurs" there is a table that lists the types of activities performed by students, students must answer what they like to do when studying FL 2. This type of work makes a meaningful approach to the study of a foreign language.

The peculiarity of the textbook is its plot construction and the inclusion of country-specific material in comparison with cultural information. Knowledge of the culture, traditions, customs of the country of the language being studied increases interest in it and helps to reveal its national characteristics. For example, from the text “Ein Hans in der Keplerstraße”, students learn that many young people in Germany live separately from their parents, renting a room (just like in England and the USA). This fact caused a debate among children about whether this is good or bad. The authors of the textbook use statistical data to develop interest in the country of the language being studied. For example, . Authentic texts from the mass media, from the youth press also contribute to the development of interest.

But it is also important to know that the study of each new foreign language is also a lot of difficulties, for example, when teaching German on the basis of English, students experience difficulties:

  1. when pronouncing;
  2. in the rules of reading;
  3. in intonation;
  4. some words in English and German look and sound similar, but have different meanings, are the so-called "false friends of the translator";
  5. in word order;
  6. in the declension of articles;
  7. in verb conjugation;
  8. in complex grammatical constructions, etc.

It is known that the grammar of the German language is much more complicated than the grammar of other Germanic languages, so complex grammatical topics should be explained ahead of time. One student will need five hours to comprehend the topic, and another ten. For example, at the initial stage, the study of the topic “Plural of nouns” is not planned, but the teacher needs to familiarize students as early as possible with all five ways of forming the plural of nouns. Will help explain Table 1 “Methods of plural formation of nouns”(Appendix 1).

The table is quite simple and during the first year of study will be “overgrown” with examples. It is not for nothing that one of the methodological paradoxes says: “Learning a foreign language is more like marking time than moving forward.” And now, when this grammatical topic needs to be generalized and systematized, there will no longer be problems with it, because. the students have “trampled on the spot” enough, and now forward movement is guaranteed.

According to statistics, only 15% of success in language learning depends on the teacher, 50% - on the abilities and efforts of the students. The remaining 35% depend on motivation, which is based on interest. It is in the power of the teacher not to allow interest in a new language to dissolve in a complex system of grammatical paradigms. To do this, it is necessary to carefully select a system of exercises that would contribute to the comprehension of the grammar of the German language, the development of all types of memory and a sense of humor. At the initial stage of learning the German language, students are faced with the problem of the gender of nouns. Even Mark Twain in his article “On the Terrifying Difficulties of the German Language” wrote: “Each noun in the German language has its own gender, but do not look for either logic or system here; and therefore the gender of each noun separately must be learned by heart. There is no other way.” It is impossible to agree with this statement, because. there are a number of rules by which many nouns are distributed by gender. Along with the biological series (der Vater - die Mutter), there is also the so-called grammatical-semantic series. Table 2 gives the gender system for nouns(Appendix 2).

One of the difficulties that should be overcome by preemptive teaching: the basic forms of strong verbs. Since this phenomenon also exists in the first foreign language - English, it does not cause any particular problems, but it requires considerable effort. The poem "Die poetischen Verben" helps to overcome this difficulty.

An adjective can be immediately given with its antonyms (gut - schlecht, groß - klein). But with colors (if it's not white - black) you can't work like that. For this purpose, it is better to use a coloring book with an indication of colors. It is important that students comment on their actions. (Appendix 3).

The declension of adjectives gave the American classic Mark Twain a lot of trouble: he tried to decline “my good friend” (“mein guter Freund”) and came to the conclusion: “In Germany, it’s better to have no friends at all than to mess around with them so much.”

The declension of adjectives, as well as the formation of the plural of nouns, the conjugation of strong verbs with a change in the root vowel in the second and third person singular, the conjugation of reflexive, modal verbs - all grammatical topics must be given ahead of time, because. without knowledge of these topics, it is impossible to read the simplest authentic texts, and without fascinating reading, it is impossible to maintain interest in the subject being studied.

Based on the foregoing, when studying FL 2, it is necessary to take into account:

  1. The degree of influence (both positive and negative) from the IA 1 . This degree is determined by the level of students' mastery of it.
  2. With an appropriate level of skill formation in FL 1, the probability of transferring them from this language increases, and the influence of the native language weakens.
  3. The influence of the native language and FL 1 appears differently at different language levels and in different types of speech activity.
  4. When studying grammar and pronunciation, both positive and negative transfer from the side of FL 1 is more often manifested, although the influence of the native language is also significant. The interaction of languages ​​in this case depends not only on the degree of formation of skills and abilities in FL 1 , but also on the complexity of the compared phenomena.
  5. In order to enhance the positive impact of FL 2 and prevent interference from the native language at the grammatical and lexical levels, it is necessary to direct students' attention to finding similarities and differences in those languages.
  6. When working on phonetics, to overcome the interference from FL 1, differentiated exercises are necessary, accompanied by an explanation of the differences in the articulation of the compared sounds.

German at school

as a second foreign.

Changes in the socio-economic and cultural life of Russia are reflected both in language policy and in language education in our country. The early study of foreign languages ​​has become popular, and the trend of mastering several foreign languages ​​is becoming more widespread. The first foreign language, in most cases, is English, on the basis of which children begin learning another European language.

In our school with in-depth study of the English language, quite a lot of experience has already been accumulated in teaching German as a second foreign language, and our first experience was on the basis of I.L. But the difficulties are that the textbook is designed for 3 hours a week, and 2 hours a week were allotted for the second foreign language. The teacher had to rework the textbook, rebuild, remove something, and so on. But, despite all the difficulties, the graduates who completed this course had good knowledge of a second foreign language, many of them entered the Linguistic Institute, where learning German at school helped them a lot. After the release of the Horizons series specially for the second language, starting from the 5th grade, we have been working on it for 5 years. Every teacher who teaches a foreign language notices the difference in learning the first and second foreign languages. Practice shows that the difficulties of mastering a second foreign language decrease by about half compared to the efforts expended on learning the first foreign language. The new tasks facing a foreign language teacher involve a change in the requirements for the level of foreign language proficiency, the definition of new approaches to the selection of content and organization of material, the use of adequate forms and types of control.
The teaching of German as a second foreign language is carried out on
well-known principles of teaching foreign languages ​​in modern methods:

  1. taking into account knowledge, skills and abilities in the first
    foreign language, as well as in the native language;
  2. consciousness;
  3. intensification;
  4. communication;
  5. collective speech
    interactions;
  6. parallel development of all kinds
    speech activity.

Among these principles, the first principle is especially important, which is feasible when comparing language systems, by introducing all kinds of strong points that facilitate and speed up the process of memorization, the process of mastering the second
foreign language.

These strongholds are:

  1. Latin script;
  2. vocabulary that has similarities at the level of pronunciation, meaning, spelling,
    word formation: tanzen - to dance / der Elefant - the elephant /
    beginnen - to begin / die Hausarbeit - the homework;
  3. the presence of definite and indefinite articles and the similarity of the rules for their use: Das ist ein Mann. Der Mann ist gut./ This is a man. The man is good;
  4. similar sentence structures: Er ist gut / He is good. Sie kann tanzen/She can dance;
  5. the formation of tense forms (from the three main forms of the verb and the use of the auxiliary verb haben = to have in the perfect): kommen - kam - gekommen / come -came - come, bringen - brachte-gebracht / bring - brought - brought;
  6. modal verbs: mussen - must / konnen - can;
  7. imperative: Lesen Sie den Text!!/ Read the text!

All these points can serve as a support in mastering German as a second foreign language, especially at the initial stage of education. The process of mastering a second foreign language can be more intensive, since entry into this process is facilitated by the above principles. The very beginning of learning a second foreign language allows you to make a number of factors more intense:

  • knowledge of the Latin script, so the period of studying the alphabet can be extremely shortened and reduced to explaining and mastering the differences
    sound-letter correspondences, graphic image of words;
  • the presence of a large potential vocabulary (English words that are similar to German, direct borrowings from English, internationalisms), which teaches reading and reading comprehension.

Due to the students' knowledge of the Latin alphabet, the time for working with the alphabet and practicing the spelling of German letters has been reduced to a minimum. With parallel
teaching oral speech, reading and writing is the main approach in modern
language education: development of language and communicative competences. Learning German will go faster and easier if:

  1. rely on similarities with - English, as well as find support in their native language;
  2. use a linguistic guess (about the meaning of a word, grammatical form), based on the context, on the familiar parts of the word;
  3. notice differences in linguistic phenomena and ways of expressing thoughts;
  4. transfer the ability to work into a new language (find the meaning of a word in a dictionary, use a paraphrase, perform various exercises, etc.).
  5. consider mastering a new language as a means of familiarizing yourself with a different culture, with the culture of peoples who speak German (in direct contact with a native speaker, in correspondence).

Learning each new foreign language is also a lot of difficulties, for example, when teaching German on the basis of English, students experience difficulties:

  1. in pronunciation;
  2. in the rules of reading;
  3. in intonation;
  4. some words in English and German look and sound similar, but have different meanings, are the so-called "translator's false friends";
  5. in word order;
  6. in the declension of articles;
  7. in verb conjugation;
  8. in complex grammatical constructions, etc.

It is known that the grammar of the German language is much more complicated than the grammar of other Germanic languages. The declension of adjectives gave the classic of American literature Mark Twain a lot of trouble: he tried to decline “my good friend” (“mein guter Freund”) and came to the conclusion: “In Germany, it’s better at all to have no friends than to bother with them so much.” Based on the foregoing, when learning German as a second foreign languageshould be considered:

  1. The degree of influence (both positive and negative) from the English language.
  2. With an appropriate level of skill formation in English, the probability of transferring them from this language increases, and the influence of the native language weakens.
  3. The influence of the native language and English appears differently at different language levels and in different types of speech activity.
  4. When studying grammar and pronunciation, both positive and negative transfer from the English language is more often manifested, although the influence of the native language is also significant. The interaction of languages ​​in this case depends not only on the degree of formation of skills in the English language, but also on the complexity of the compared phenomena.
  5. In order to strengthen the positive influence of the German language and prevent interference from the native language at the grammatical and lexical levels, it is necessary to direct the attention of students to finding similarities and differences in those languages.
  6. When working on phonetics, to overcome the interference from the English language, differentiated exercises are necessary, accompanied by an explanation of the differences in the articulation of the compared sounds.

If we talk about the practical significance of teaching a second language, then it is necessary to point out the increase in the importance of the first language due to the study of the second, the chance for students to use their knowledge of grammatical structures from the field of the first language, general educational skills and abilities, that is, the chance of using linguistic experience.

Linguistic experience is characterized by the synthesis of knowledge, skills and abilities not only in the native language, but also in the first foreign language. Linguistic experience has a positive impact on the acquisition of a second language, despite the interfering effect of the first foreign language, allows you to quickly and consciously master concepts and terms.

The presence of such experience facilitates the mastery of the main types of speech activity, helps to master the skills of intercultural communication. Mastering the types of speech activity in the second language, the student involuntarily expands his linguistic experience. But in this an important role is given to the teacher, who will guide the process of expanding linguistic experience. The chosen textbook is of great importance, because it is important:

Does the textbook allow to activate the existing linguistic experience of the student;

Does it stimulate interest in learning a new language and culture;

Are the materials relevant to the students' social experience;

Are the tasks and exercises diverse, is it possible to compare language cultures with their help, to expand the student's linguistic and cultural experience. The main thing is not to set unattainable goals. Firstly, we take into account the possibilities of the basic curriculum, so the amount of language material is defined as minimal. Secondly, due to the limited time, the content is aimed at mastering the basics of speech activity in a second foreign language.

We teach a second foreign language: German based on English

The main provisions of the concept of teaching the German language. Analysis of the use of this concept in practice, with examples from the textbook "Brücken" (author of the series I.L. Beam). The initial stage of teaching the German language as laying the foundation for further stages (grades 7-9 and 10-11).

The material is based on the webinar "The concept of teaching a second foreign language (German based on English) on the example of the Brücken EMC".

The authors of the concept of teaching a second foreign language (German) based on English - Inessa Bim and Lyudmila Sadomova - created a teaching method that meets psycholinguistic patterns in teaching a second foreign language. “He does not cause difficulties at the very beginning of training and motivates well in the future,” teachers say about Brücken. The textbook prepares for the delivery of the OGE in the second foreign language.

First, the problem of interference, both negative and positive, cannot be dismissed; both from transfers from the native language, and from the first foreign language. Negative interference is a source of errors; positive - helps to master a new language. The problem of interference turns into a resource if it is approached methodically correctly. This means taking it into account at all levels of language use: phonetic, lexical, grammatical... paying attention to interference in all types of speech activity (productive, receptive)... not ignoring the influence of the student's non-verbal behavior (tempo, intonation, gestures).

The textbook “knows” in advance about possible errors (mixing, substitutions, permutations) - and clearly explains, compares and, in training exercises, develops the necessary skills of graphics, phonetics, vocabulary, grammar. That is, it removes negative interference.

And a positive transfer is a reliance on speech-thinking actions, perceived first from the native language and fixed when studying the first foreign language: perception, choice, combination, rules for constructing a text, working with a dictionary ..

It is good when there is a time gap between the beginning of learning the first and second languages. Then one formed picture of the language will serve to create the second, positive interference will work.

Secondly, the EMC is aimed at the formation of awareness in language acquisition. The communicative-cognitive principle is the main one here. More explanations, solutions to specific problems, less working off. And one more thing: study as intensively as possible! This is helped by the use of comparisons and contrasts in the study of any aspect of the language.

A review of the textbook pages in the presentation showed that the alphabet is studied for a short time and in connection with the peculiarities of letter combinations in German. Vocabulary - quickly, based on familiar English and international words, but a lot of attention to complex words and word formation in German. Immediately - light texts from magazines. There are not so many training exercises and only for training the phenomenon itself (and not preparatory ones). The letter also begins immediately - like the correspondence of boys who know English, but agreed to write in German. In parallel, exercises are included to compare German with English.

And in general, the trust of the textbook to the student is enormous: “They themselves will notice, and draw conclusions, and guess,” the lecturer says, commenting on the pages. Yes, there are only topics in Russian. It remains to wish the textbook the same energetic, cheerful and quick teacher as he himself.

Textbooks in German as a second foreign language are intended for students of educational institutions and are the main component of the teaching and methodological package, which also includes a workbook, a teacher's book and an audio application that is available for download. Educational products comply with the Federal State Educational Standard for Basic General Education.
