- Abstract
The present dissertation study by Lin Xi examines the choice of language of instruction in preparatory German language classes in China. The study focuses on six teachers from the Sino-German Technical Faculty in Qingdao. Four research questions are addressed, including the extent and functions of using the Chinese and German language in the classroom, as well as the influencing factors and attitudes of the teachers towards language choice. The work consists of an introduction, a theoretical and an empirical part, followed by didactic implications. The main findings show that the Chinese language has a significant role in German language instruction and that the teachers have positive attitudes towards using the Chinese language in the classroom. Recommendations for Chinese teachers include a more confident use of the German language in instruction.
