Teaching languages to adolescents can be a challenge. . . but one that is most rewarding! What works? What doesn't work? This book provides a reader friendly overview on teaching modern languages to adolescents (Years 7-13). Each chapter takes an aspect of language teaching and learning, and explains the underlying theory of instructed language acquisition and its application through examples from real language classrooms. The book explores teachers' practices and the reasoning behind their pedagogic choices through the voices of both the teachers themselves and their students. At the same time, it highlights the needs of the adolescent language learner and makes the case that adolescence is a prime time for language learning. Written in an accessible, engaging way, yet comprehensive in its scope, this will be essential reading for language teachers wishing to integrate cutting-edge research into their teaching. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at 10.1017/9781108869812.

The articles in this anthology display the diversity of innovative approaches chosen in ongoing or concluded PhD and professorial dissertations in the field of German as a Foreign or Second language. They include studies in text comprehension research, critical needs analysis, discourse analysis, empirical didactics and analyses of the learning process in its cultural context. In line with the characteristics of the kaleidoscope, the editors do without any systematic classification of the contributions and do not claim to establish some kind of carthography of the current state of young GFL/GSL reaearch. They would rather invite the reader to look optimistically on the development of young GFL/GSL research and reflect upon the structure and the instruments of support to young GFL/GSL researchers. Die Beiträge des Sammelbands bieten einen kaleidoskopischen Blick auf innovative Forschungsfragen und -instrumentarien laufender oder abgeschlossener Qualifikationsprojekte im Wissenschaftsbereich Deutsch als Fremd-/Zweitsprache. Unter anderem werden Studien aus der Textverstehensforschung, der critical needs analysis, der sozialwissenschaftlichen Diskursanalyse, der empirischen Didaktik und der kulturbezogenen Lernprozessforschung zur Diskussion gestellt. Dem Prinzip der lebendig-bunten Bilderfolge eines Kaleidoskops entsprechend, verzichten die Herausgeber auf eine fachsystematische Einordnung der Beiträge und erheben keinen Anspruch auf eine 'Kartografie' des derzeitigen Stands junger DaF-/DaZ-Forschung. Vielmehr betont das Bild des Kaleidoskops das Fragmentarische der Dokumentation, ermuntert aber auch dazu, die Funktionsweise eines solchen optischen Spielzeugs als Leseperspektive anzunehmen. Im Sinne des "Schönbildschauers" (kalós: schön; eĩdos: Gestalt, Bild; skopeĩn: schauen) eröffnet der Band einen optimistischen Blick auf die Entwicklung der jungen DaF-/DaZ-Forschung und regt dazu an, den Dialog über Struktur und Instrumente der DaF-/DaZ-Nachwuchsförderung zu intensivieren.
