Der Beitrag führt in die Entstehungsgeschichte, die Inhalte und den fachdidaktischen Ansatz dieses multimedialen Fort- und Weiterbildungsprogramms ein, das an Traditionen reflektierten Erfahrungslernens anknüpft. Die weltweite Nutzung sowie unterschiedliche Nutzungsformate werden vorgestellt. Berücksichtigt werden auch Modelle der Integration von DLL in die Lehrerausbildung, wie sie in Kooperationsprojekten zwischen dem Goethe-Institut und lokalen Universitäten entstanden. Besondere Beachtung finden die Praxiserkundungsprojekte, ein zentrales Element des Programms. Ihr Potenzial sowie ihre Herausforderungen werden auf der Basis bisheriger Forschung und einer aktuellen Befragung von Tutoren und Multiplikatoren kritisch erörtert. In this paper, the authors introduce the Goethe Institute's most recent program for in-service education of teachers of German. The history of this multi-modal program, its conceptual foundation and its content are explained, as well as various formats of program delivery in different parts of the world. In addition, the authors present models of integrating DLL into current pre-service teacher education programs, as they have developed in a number of cooperative ventures between the Goethe Institute and local universities. Since classroom action research projects constitute a core component of the program, the authors discuss its potential and challenges for teacher development based on some initial empirical research and a current worldwide survey of DLL tutors and teacher educators.

Based on the example of formative evaluation data collected from the Chinese-German double degree program in mechanical engineering at the Chinese- German Technical Faculty in Qingdao (China), this paper discusses opportunities and challenges of integrating content and language learning as well as ways of optimizing preparatory and academic German language courses.

In this paper, I will first review the history of advanced training for Chinese German teachers in the first phase (from 2006 to 2009) and the second phase of the development of the Department German Studies in China. The current situation of the young Chinese German teachers is presented and analyzed by the result of a research based on the newly founded departments of German Studies from 2000 to 2009 at 40 universities. This is also considered to be an argument for the second phase (2010-2017) of the advanced training, namely that the training courses should be aimed at special fields of German Studies. After the report on the second phase of the advanced training, I try to evaluate the impact of the training courses by analyzing comments in video interviews as well as e-mail surveys in 2016. By comparing the results conducted with the same target group in 2009 and 2017, the continuous impact of the teacher training can be brought to light. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper first introduces the 2 plus 3 program at the ZUST. Then the author probes into the question what the greatest difficulties are, despite of the apparent attractiveness of the double degree program. The results of a questionnaire show that both the intercultural differences and the lack of vocabulary significantly complicate the students' daily learning. To overcome the abovementioned difficulties, effective measures have already been taken in German lessons. The German language teaching experience in ZUST suggests that application orientation in German lessons is the key to its success. In the end, further considerations for improving the program are briefly explained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper focuses on teacher training of German as a foreign language in China. On the background of a long historical development and the tendency to speak multiple languages at present, teaching German language is experiencing a boom in China today. At the same time the adaptation to the great need of qualified teaching staff, the improvement of teaching content and methods of learning as well as the use of modern teaching methods are important factors for sustainable development.
