Enseignement pluriel et assurance qualité ? Réflexions à propos des innovations éducatives à l’exemple de l’intercompréhension en Sarre

Abstract

This article outlines the development of multilingual education in the field of intercomprehension-based teaching and learning, with a spotlight on Saarland. After a summarizing look at the results and experiences of more than ten years of theoretical and practical research, the close connection between research, practical implementation, and conceptual and theoretical development is highlighted – factors that reinforce each other in an integral process. We then turn our attention to the question of the extent to which the activities developed at Saarland University can be seen as a contribution to the development of quality assurance in language education in Saarland.
