Didactique de l'Anglais - Pédagogie,Linguistique

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.
