This paper wants to show that Lyricstraining and Quizlet are ideal possibilities for scaffolding. During the last few years the terms “globalization” and “digitalization” have become more popular and it is a fact that the world changes faster and faster. The education is not excluded. Languages have a great value for the students and the curricula give them a high priority. English is taught in primary schools and more and more bilingual modules are part of the schedules.
Other trends can be seen as well: Three decades ago, the teachers have used blackboards and only a few people have used the internet. Nowadays students grow up with electronic devices. The big amount of smartphones is just one example for this. This change can be seen in schools as well, because more and more blackboards are substituted by smartboards and that changes the way of teaching and the teacher’s role fundamentally.
Scaffolding is one example for this trend. The metaphor for this concept is used to clarify the role of the teacher, because the teacher can be seen as an adviser who helps the students to build their own scaffold. Different options can be used to reach this target.

Objectives and Key Themes
This paper aims to demonstrate how Lyricstraining and Quizlet can effectively function as scaffolding tools in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. It explores the concept of scaffolding within the context of modern educational trends influenced by globalization and digitalization.
- The definition and application of scaffolding in EFL teaching.
- The role of the teacher and student in a scaffolding approach.
- The practical application of scaffolding tools like Lyricstraining and Quizlet.
- Different strategies and techniques of scaffolding.
- The importance of feedback in the scaffolding process.
Chapter Summaries
1 Introduction: This introductory chapter sets the stage by discussing the impact of globalization and digitalization on education, particularly in language learning. It highlights the increasing importance of English and the shift from traditional teaching methods (blackboards) to modern technological tools (smartboards). The chapter introduces the concept of scaffolding and positions Lyricstraining and Quizlet as effective tools within this framework.
2 Scaffolding: This chapter delves into the theoretical underpinnings of scaffolding. It defines scaffolding, drawing on the work of various educational theorists like Wolfgang Hallet, Wood, Bruner, and Ross, and differentiates between the English and German understandings of the term. The chapter discusses Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and its relevance to scaffolding, emphasizing the teacher's role in bridging the gap between a student's current and potential knowledge. Different scaffolding strategies, including micro and macro-scaffolding and Hallet's input, process, and output scaffolding, are also explored. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the dynamic and ongoing nature of educational scaffolding, unlike the static nature of a physical scaffold.
