Dr Judith Rifeser: The fight against racism and for equality in German women's soccer.
Kurz & Bündig
How can we use authentic texts to engage with issues of racism and equality (e.g. #equalplayequalpay) together with our students of German? How can this be mastered already at the lower levels? Here, we address these questions and explore various ideas together using diverse texts (including videos, newspaper clippings, interviews, etc.) that can be taken directly back to the classroom. It is especially important to show how authentic texts are an important source to give our students the opportunity to actively participate, to express their opinions and to perceive them as citizens of this world.
