Research for the school

Fake News, Artificial Intelligence and strategies to counter them are the current research interests of Melanie Hendler, a didactic specialist in German studies.

Which strategies are suitable to be able to understand texts at a certain age? How can they be implemented didactically? And also which cognitive-psychological and -linguistic approaches are relevant for this? How is AI used and contextualized in the classroom? Subject didactician Melanie Hendler is dealing with these and other questions. Since March 2023, she has been employed as a PostDoc at the Subject Didactics Center German as a Second Language & Linguistic Education.

All over the world

Research is the result of exchange. This leads our scientists to research institutions all over the world. And it also brings scientists from all over the world to us.

What is it like to do research at other institutions, what do you experience and discover, and what do you miss most when your are on the road?
