Abstract
In der folgenden Hausarbeit wird der Einsatz von Liedern in dem Sprachunterricht beleuchtet. Dabei wird nicht nur auf die allgemeine Wichtigkeit, Literatur im Unterricht einzusetzen, hinge-deutet, sondern auch die Bedeutung des interkulturellen Kompetenzerwerbs erläutert. Diese kann durch einen Aufenthalt im betreffenden Land erworben werden oder, wenn dies nicht möglich ist, durch den Einsatz von authentischen literarischen Werken des betreffenden Landes. Der interkulturelle Kompetenzbegriff umfasst dabei nicht nur Themen wie, typisches Essen oder geographische Lage, sondern auch ungeschriebene Regeln, Einstellungen, Glauben, Werte und Normen. Diese können nicht nur durch komplexe Beziehungen von Charakteren in einem Ro-man, sondern auch über Lieder übermittelt werden. Durch oftmals kurze, aber intensive Ausei-nandersetzungen mit tagtäglichen Problemen, bieten Lieder ebenfalls die Möglichkeit bestimmte Haltungen und Denkweisen der anderen Kultur darzustellen und zu hinterfragen. Nach dem theoretischen Teil der Hausarbeit folgt ein exemplarischer Unterrichtsentwurf in dem ein Lied als Hauptbestandteil in der Stunde eingesetzt wird, um sich mit dem Thema der Homosexualität auseinander zu setzen.
In the following term paper, the use of songs in the language classroom will be examined. In addition to the general importance of using literature in the classroom, the importance of inter-cultural competence acquisition is explained. This can be acquired through a stay in the country of the language that is learned, or if this is not possible, using authentic literary works from the country in question. The concept of intercultural competence includes not only topics such as typical food or geographical location, but also unwritten rules, attitudes, beliefs, values, and norms. These can be conveyed not only through complex relationships and actions of characters in a novel, but also through songs. Through often brief but intense confrontations with every-day problems, songs also offer the opportunity to present and question certain attitudes and ways of thinking of the other culture. After the theoretical part of the paper follows an exempla-ry lesson plan in which a song is used as the main component in the lesson to deal with the top-ic of homosexuality.
