Description
University teacher Hans Arndt introduces over 7 pages the subject of “Language and society” and proposes different exercises. In exercise 1 (chapter: “Globalisation”) the students have to reflect on their plurilingual competences on different levels and evaluate the plurilingual competences represented in the classroom. In exercise 2 (chapter “The languages in Denmark”) the students define the concept of bilingualism/plurilingualism and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of bilingualism/plurilingualism. In exercise 3 (chapter “The languages in Denmark”), the students translate a simple phrase from Danish to the languages represented in the classroom and analyse their differences and similarities. At the end, they discuss their attitudes to different languages and the reason and origin of those attitudes. N.B.: The following descriptors correspond to the third exercise only: S-1.1.3; A-3.2.1; K-6.8; K-6.7.
