Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to analyze how a new linguistic awareness which goes be- yond a monolingual approach can be fostered among (future) teachers of German. Based on an initial training course held at the University of Verona (Italy) in the A.Y. 2022-23, we will investigate the extent to which an explicit sensitization can prove fruitful and what paths can be thought of to integrate plurilingual competences into teaching practices. The training experience with student teachers will thus constitute a first step to prospectively design effective professional development courses also for in-service teachers of German, to promote plurilingual education.
