,Competence as problem-solving

“Kompetenzen sind die bei Individuen verfügbaren oder durch sie erlernbaren
kognitiven Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten, um bestimmte Probleme zu
lösen, sowie die damit verbundenen motivationalen, volitionalen und sozialen
Bereitschaften und Fähigkeiten, um die Problemlösungen in variablen Situationen
erfolgreich und verantwortungsvoll nutzen zu können“ (Weinert 2001:27).

Problem-solving in English class

In TEFL we can agree on the definition of problem-solving as planning, performing
and evaluating a task in English.

Our students can perform the following tasks:

1. Make a fruit salat on the basis of an English recipe
2. Write a report for the school paper in English
3. Make a film or a podcast about their home town/school/class/favourite
animal
4. Produce a photo story about a sport/an emergency/a school trip/a story
they read
5. Make plans for a party/an upcycling project
6. Produce a leaflet on healthy/international food in their town

Competences as starting point for lesson planning

3. How languages are learned / Second Language Acquisition
(SLA)

Terminology

Second vs. foreign language (learning)

 Second language (L2)
o any other language than the first language (L1) the learners
acquired
o “We use ‘second language learning’ and ‘second language
acquisition’ as general terms to cover the development of the ability
to use a new language in a variety of different contexts.”
 Foreign language learning
o learning of a language, usually in a classroom setting, in a context
where the target
language is not widely
used in the community 
learning French in China

Four perspectives on second
language learning (Lightbown et
al., 2021)

 the different perspectives on SLA
complement one another and all are
needed to gain a full-spectrum picture of the multidimensional nature of SLA

Behavioristic perspective (1940-1970)

 learning of process of conditioning
 habit formation (through positive feedback)
 learning as imitation and practice
 audiolingual method (repetition)
 environment

Innatist perspective

 children are born with a specific innate ability (LAD) to acquire the
language of their environment during a critical period of their development
 language acquisition device (LAD)

Cognitive-psychological perspective

 language learning as a creative process
 use of conscious/unconscious learning strategies, mental actions
 declarative knowledge
