Abstract Details

2020, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, German.
Should German teachers incorporate Austrian dialects in the German-as-a-foreign-language classroom? In the past, the answer to this has been a widely resounding no, as the language variety known as 'high German' or 'standard German' and spoken predominately in Germany dominates the German language textbooks. Thus, L2 learners of German face a multitude of comprehension difficulties when confronted with Austrian dialects. This master's thesis explores a new didactical approach designed to improve the receptive competencies of L2 German learners in regards to Austrian dialects. After a thorough explanation of pluricentric languages, standard Austrian German and Bavarian dialects, this thesis will examine three German language textbooks published explicitly for German learners in Austria: Linie 1 Öesterreich, Pluspunkt Deutsch Öesterreich and Schritte Plus Öesterreich, all of which are situated at the beginning intermediate Level (B1). This thesis examines questions pertaining to these works' exercise repertoire, audio authenticity and treatment of non-standard dialects in regard to their lexical as well as phonetic properties. Lastly, drawing upon the theory of intercomprehension, an adaptation of this method will be provided so as to promote the acquisition of receptive competencies of Bavarian dialects. Furthermore, the application and implementation of these didactics in German as a foreign language curricula will be presented in the form of a textbook exemplar dealing primarily with the promotion of receptive competency in non-standard dialects.
