Abstract

In the field of German linguistics, several important contributions have been published in recent years focusing on the value of spoken language corpora for language teaching (e.g. Costa 2008, Römer 2008, Paschke 2018, Günthner/Schopf/Weidner 2021, Fandrych/Meißner/Wallner 2021). Taking these theoretical approaches as a starting point, the contribution intends to highlight the often neglected potential that spoken language corpora offer for DaF teaching in secondary school and how they can be used as a database for designing thematic CLIL contents in secondary schools, by proposing some language teaching applications taken from the corpus Fluchtgeschichten aus Ostpreußen (FGOP) edited by Lucia Cinato and available on the Datenbank für gesprochens Deutsch (DGD) platform of the Institut für deutsche Sprache (IDS) in Mannheim.
