I will start to talk in chapter one about the necessary terms “Common European Framework” and its levels, the “Bildungsstandards” and the German curriculum for English as a second language. I will give an insight of the main points of these systems and will show the differences and similarities between them. In chapter two I will show a “competence oriented lesson” in view of the listening and reading skills and their competence development by the backward planning method.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This term paper aims to clarify the importance of the "Common European Framework of Reference" in view of second language acquisition. It focuses on the planning of a competence-oriented lesson and how this approach provides a better alternative to traditional planning methods. The paper explores the relationship between the CEF, the German educational standards ("Bildungsstandards"), and the German curriculum for English as a second language. * The importance of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEF) in second language acquisition * The application of "backward planning" in competence-oriented teaching * The comparison and contrast of the CEF, Bildungsstandards, and the German curriculum for English as a second language * The development of listening and reading skills in a competence-oriented lesson * The benefits of competence-oriented teaching in fostering intercultural communicative competenceZusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Chapter 1: theoretical part
This chapter introduces the Common European Framework of Reference (CEF), a system that sets criteria for learning, teaching, and assessing language competencies. The CEF aims to ensure transparency and comparability of language proficiency across European countries. This chapter further discusses the CEF's levels, its relationship to the German educational standards ("Bildungsstandards"), and its relevance to the German curriculum for English as a second language.Chapter 2: teaching lesson
This chapter focuses on the application of competence-oriented teaching in a real-world lesson. It outlines the learning group, the content of the lesson, and the didactic and methodological considerations involved in planning and delivering a competence-oriented lesson. The chapter emphasizes the "backward planning" method and its benefits for achieving learning objectives.Schlüsselwörter (Keywords)
This term paper focuses on the development of intercultural communicative competence in the context of English as a second language. It explores the application of competence-oriented teaching, the Common European Framework of Reference (CEF), and the German educational standards ("Bildungsstandards") as foundational frameworks for achieving this goal. It also examines the importance of "backward planning" and its implications for lesson planning and delivery.Frequently Asked Questions
What is the "Common European Framework of Reference" (CEF)?
The CEF is a standardized system across Europe used to describe the language proficiency of learners and to provide a basis for curriculum design and assessment.
How does "Backward Planning" benefit language teaching?
Backward planning starts with the final competency goals and designs the lesson steps to reach them, ensuring that every activity directly contributes to the learning objective.
What are the "Bildungsstandards" in the German context?
These are national educational standards that define what competencies students should acquire at certain stages of their school career, aligning with the CEF levels.
What is Intercultural Communicative Competence?
It is the ability not only to speak a language correctly but also to interact appropriately and effectively with people from different cultural backgrounds.
Which skills are focused on in the sample lesson?
The paper demonstrates a lesson focused on developing listening and reading skills through a competence-oriented approach.
