This manual provides an overview of the field of Pedagogical Linguistics, an emerging discipline situated at the intersection of linguistics and language teaching research. The book focuses on foreign language teaching at school in German-speaking countries, while also addressing first and second language acquisition, heritage languages, and university-level education in Romance-speaking countries.
The volume comprises the following four sections:
- Romance languages as target languages: structure and variation ("Pronunciation", "Vocabulary", "Socio-Stylistic Variation", etc.)
- Teaching foreign and native languages in monolingual and multilingual contexts ("Intercomprehension", "Stay abroad", etc
- Pedagogical linguistics and its implications for language teaching ("Authenticity", "Corpora as Teaching Materials", etc.); and
- Pedagogical linguistics in Romance-speaking countries.
