Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The objective of this course is to develop a critical approach to information about language(s) and a reflective understanding of linguistic data. Upon successful completion, students will have a basic understanding of methods for collecting linguistic data. They will be able to provide critical assessments of grammar, vocabulary, and textbooks, compare and evaluate chatbot responses (from AI) and corpus hits, and be capable of verifying information about language(s) and critically engaging with established assumptions. Additionally, they will be able to operate several corpora essential for learning and teaching German.
The course covers the main corpora and corpus tools for German as well as for German as a Foreign (DaF) and Second Language (DaZ), and contrastive language research.
Teaching methods:
Frontal presentations: Introducing individual corpus managers and their work.
Group work: Solving smaller linguistic problems.
Presentations and stations: Presenting research findings on selected language issues, completing small tasks and exercises.
Discussion rounds.

The assessment includes following components:
Small assignments (survey, research)
Presentation: Solving a (inter)linguistic problem or presenting a phenomenon
