Preparation of an Adaptive (“archē”) Architecture of Linguistic Furtherance with respect to Connective Devices in Climate and Energy Discourses that is applicable to all educational stages and contents, allows for individual linguistic furtherance including first language skills and intermedial approaches

One of the major aims of linguistic education is the ability to acquire as well as critically evaluate linguistically mediated knowledge. As complexity increases with the developmental stages, the demands on linguistic skills in their dynamicscurrently result in a deficit of linguistic furtherance with respect to heterogeneous learner groups, especially in the area of connective linguistic devices essential for explanatory discourses. The aim of the project is the preparation of an Adaptive (“archē”) Architecture of Linguistic Furtherance with respect to Connective Devices in Climate and Energy Discourses that

1. is applicable to all educational stages and contents,
2. allows for individual linguistic furtherance including first language skills (in the project Russian is used as an exemplary first language), and
3. uses intermedial approaches.

The project provides for a method of systematic design of an information pool for different ages, acquisitional steps and learning places. The idea is that – building on their pre-knowledge regarding climate and energy discourses – learners will use this pool receptively and then productively in a way that finally allows for critical reflection of the resulting product pool. Didactic instruments for continuous linguistic furtherance are sensitive to learners’ acquisitional stages.
