Multilingualism and Applied Comparative Linguistics
In February 2006 the first international conference on Multilingualism and Applied Comparative Linguistics (MACL) was held in Brussels, Belgium. The aim of the MACL conference was to bring together scholars from various branches of applied linguistics with a shared interest in cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communication. The conference thus fostered an exchange of knowledge and expertise among researchers from various disciplines, including educational linguistics, cultural linguistics, terminography, translation studies and studies of specialised languages. The present book is the first of two volumes containing a selection from the approximately 120 papers that were presented at that three-day event.

Fremdsprachenunterricht im Spannungsfeld zwischen Sprachwissen und Sprachkönnen
In dem vorliegenden Band wird der Fremdsprachenunterricht in den Mittelpunkt gerückt, wie es sich gegenwärtig zwischen den beiden Eckpunkten Sprachwissen und Sprachkönnen darstellt. Mit Blick auf drei verschiedene, einander jedoch oft komplementäre Bereiche – Fremdsprachendidaktik, Fachsprachendidaktik sowie Kommunikation und Interkulturalität – werden in internationaler Perspektive aktuelle Ansätze und Methoden dargestellt und hinterfragt, die das gesamte Spektrum des Fremdsprachenunterrichts abdecken – von seiner theoretischen Ausrichtung bis hin zu der praktischen Fremdsprachenvermittlung. Dabei reichen die hier behandelten Zielsprachen vom Englischen über das Französische, das Spanische und das Deutsche bis hin zum Chinesischen und Russischen. Bedingt durch die Breite und den Umfang der Darstellung bietet die vorliegende Publikation sowohl für Linguisten und Fremdsprachendidaktiker als auch für Fremdsprachenlehrer und Studierende der modernen Philologien zahlreiche Anregungen.
