DaF in der Welt: Warum es sich heute noch mehr lohnt, Deutsch zu lernen

Abstract

Despite everything that is said and can be read currently on the news, the global amount of learners of German has not dramatically decreased in the last three decades. As a general fact, it actually has remained constant, while in some places, especially in the last few months, it has increased significantly. Nevertheless, learning German is a changing reality, its main fluctuations depending mostly on geographical and institutional factors at the educational level. In order to keep German attractive in our multilingual society, new teaching and learning concepts must be profiled, which can make foreign language acquisition suitable to a context of modern language polyphony. In any case, to learn German pays more today than ever before.
