Presentation

Society’s need for well-educated employees for a global business community entails a demand for teaching intercultural functional competence within the educational system and the business community. My research therefore addresses the globally oriented classroom of the 21st century which draws on social media facilitated interaction in the acquisition of intercultural and interlingual competences and addresses the facilitation of tomorrow’s globalization ambassadors’ professional handling of intercultural and interlingual challenges. As research leader I’m responsible for matching emerging technologies, social media and foreign language didactics into successful research projects that couple theoretical approaches, analytic insights and application of findings that facilitate learning and teaching of language and intercultural competences.
