Abstract:

Linguistic landscape is a recent area of scholarly interest. This
phenomenon rapidly gained attention in various disciplines of academic
research, including media, tourism, economics, sociology, geography
and pedagogy. In this context, previous papers have been approaching
linguistic landscape from several theoretical, empirical and
analytical perspectives. By employing both quantitative and
qualitative methods, the main axis of this study is built upon three
interrelated research objects. The first part of the study
investigates the sociolinguistic composition of Bremen in Germany. It
is also revealing the impact of linguistic landscape signs on
promoting second language (L2) learners’ communicative competence in
general and L2 learners of German in particular. And finally, the
study is evaluating the most pertinent language teaching approach
and/or method for integrating linguistic landscape signs in adult L2
acquisition environments in general and German educational contexts in
particular.
