Die Entdeckung des „Selbstverständlichen in einem neuen Licht“. Interkulturelles Lernen durch Spracharbeit und -reflexion im universitären Kontext

This article starts out from an empirically based research project that was conducted with GFL students at the University of Catania and Italian L2 students at the Freie Universität Berlin. The overall objectives were consolidation and expansion of intercultural competence which should be reached methodically by means of language and cultural work with texts of transcultural literature. Against this background, the cultural-oriented learning processes of students will be analysed and described with the aid of explorative-interpretative qualitative research methods.
