Meeting Description:

How to handle norms is arguably one of the most pivotal issues
pertaining to the self-definition of language didactics and to the
role of language teachers. In the context of language teaching,
educators are required to navigate a multitude of norms that vary in
scope, origin, status, and relevance.
In addition to the implicit subsistent norms of any language or
variety, we deal with overtly codified, officially binding and
prescriptive writing norms (for example, the official rules for German
spelling). Reference works on grammar, pronunciation and style are, in
turn, informed to varying degrees by empirical (usage-based) research
and can be read in a prescriptive or descriptive manner. Questions
that arise in dealing with standards of this kind revolve around the
scholarly basis of reference works, the relationship between
description and prescription, and the knowledge that future teachers
must possess regarding the status and development of these norms.

However, it is not only linguistic norms that play a role in language
didactics; transitory didactic norms (Valdman 1966; Feilke 2015), such
as those regarding text types, also have an impact. As didactic norms
are intended to facilitate learning/acquisition (e.g., of
extracurricular target norms), it is essential to ascertain whether a
specific didactic norm is reasonably aligned with a corresponding
(extracurricular) target norm, whether it can be processed by the
learners and actually supports the attainment of learning objectives.

The workshop will address these and other questions arising from the
tension between norm and variation, norm fulfilment and (critical)
norm reflection, and – not least – between linguistics and didactics.
Keynote speakers:
 • Jörg Kilian (Kiel)
 • Sandra Götz-Lehmann (Marburg)
 • Jutta Ransmayr (Wien)
