Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Language is a factor of crucial importance for the communication and understanding of central concepts of physics. Problems usually arise when physical concepts are communicated with language; here the encoded and decoded concept may be different or even contradicting. Everyday language often interferes with the terminology of physics and thus makes it for pupils more difficult to grasp appropriate concepts. In this seminar the importance of language for teaching is addressed and strategies for language sensitive teaching are discussed.
