Abstract
Students’ success in school is closely linked to the mastering of academic language. In the context of linguistic und socio-cultural diversity, teaching practices which support students’ acquisition of this capability have become increasingly important. Empirical research in this field, however, is scarce. The video study Bildungssprachförderliches Lehrerhandeln (‘Teaching practices of academic language support’ – BilLe) analyzes the teaching of academic discourse practices in regular multilingual classrooms with a focus on teachers’ activities. The project is embedded in intercultural educational research focusing on curriculum development. For the purpose of this study, expert teachers were video-taped in regular lessons in various types of schools, grades and subjects. Based on content-based analyses (low-inference video coding) and interpretive video interaction analyses this article presents results from the part of the BilLe study that focused on a primary school.
