TY - JOUR TI - Teaching German as a Foreign Language based on Paul Celan‘s „I heard them say“ AU - Moskała, Paweł TI - Teaching German as a Foreign Language based on Paul Celan‘s „I heard them say“ AB - The article offers an attempt to present practical activities based on the structure of a poem for use in a foreign language classroom, coherent with the methodology of teaching through practical productive exercises, as well as on The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Paul Celan’s poem Ich hörte sagen presents a perfect research material because of its poetical structure, which may constitute a basis for the development of linguistic competences, as well as competences in literary text reading. The typology of activities built on Celan’s poem is preceded by an analysis of the role of literature in foreign language teaching and the status of poetry in the whole teaching process.   VL - 2016 IS - Volume 11, Issue 4 PY - 2016 SN - 1897-3035 C1 - 2084-3933 SP - 217 EP - 229 DO - 10.4467/20843933ST.16.020.5925 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studia-litteraria-uic/article/nauczanie-jezyka-niemieckiego-na-przykladzie-wiersza-paula-celana-slyszalem-jak-mowili KW - literary character KW - poem structure KW - foreign language teaching KW - productive activities KW - linguistic competences
