Digitalität und Mehrsprachigkeit im Subsahara-Afrika-Netz DaF Digital (SANDD)

Zum Aufbau international kooperativer und digital gestützter Professionalisierungsangebote in DaF

Abstract

  National and global requirements and realities must be considered in international teacher training cooperations for German as a Foreign Language (GFL). In-service training courses contribute to the professionalization of GFL teachers, but are often not empirically sound. This article presents the training concept of the Sub-Saharan Africa Network DaF Digital (SANDD) and reports on experiences from two training cycles on digitality and multilingualism. The challenges of hybrid trainings in Aub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are discussed, including the lack of empirical studies and the importance of context-specific conditions. Finally, the necessity of consistent demand-oriented cooperation for the professionalization of GFL teachers in Sub-Saharan Africa is pointed out.
