Gestaltung von Leistungserhebungen

Mit KMS Nr. VI.6-5S5402.7-6.78159 vom 11.08.2004:
auch Leseverstehen)

„Die Lehrpläne der Neueren Sprachen sehen eine gleichmäßige Schulung aller Kompetenzbereiche vor.
Rezeptive und produktive Fähigkeiten müssen gleichermaßen gefördert werden. Daher muss garantiert werden,
dass innerhalb eines Schuljahres folgende kommunikative Fertigkeiten in Schulaufgaben geprüft werden:
Hörverstehen, Leseverstehen, schriftliche Ausdrucksfähigkeit und Sprachmittlung.
In den Schulaufgaben in den modernen Fremdsprachen sollen vorwiegend Aufgabenformen zum Tragen
kommen, die die Integration verschiedener Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten nachweisen und möglichst
früh zur Selbstständigkeit im Umgang mit der Fremdsprache führen. Ein rein reproduktives Abprüfen von
isolierten Einzelfakten und Detailwissen durch die Schulaufgaben ist weder nötig noch wünschenswert,
da diese in kompetenzorientierten und komplexen Aufgabenstellungen immer mit abgeprüft werden.
Die nach wie vor vielfach praktizierte Dreiteilung von Diktat, Grammatik und Übersetzung in Schulaufgaben der
Spracherwerbsphase sollte durch eine den Zielen des Lehrplans ... entsprechende Gestaltung ersetzt werden:
adäquate Aufgabenformen sind Hör- oder Leseverstehen, Grammatik (in situativen Kontexten) und freie
Textproduktion (evtl. mit Elementen der Sprachmittlung).

Idealerweise werden die einzelnen Bestandteile einer Schulaufgabe in einen situativen Gesamtkontext
gestellt. Übersetzungen in die Fremdsprache sollten nur punktuell und zur Überprüfung spezifischer kontrastiver
Aspekte eingesetzt werden.“

 LISTENINGS
Die moderne Art des Listenings nennt man unter anderem Podcasts.

Podcasting bezeichnet das Produzieren und Anbieten von Mediendateien (Audio oder
Video) über das Internet. Das Kofferwort setzt sich aus den beiden Wörtern iPod und
Broadcasting zusammen.Ein einzelner Podcast (deutsch: ein Hörstück, genauer Hördatei
oder Bewegtbilddatei) ist somit eine Serie von Medienbeiträgen (Episoden), die über einen
Feed (meistens RSS) automatisch bezogen werden können.

Man kann Podcasts als Radio- oder Fernsehsendungen auffassen, die sich unabhängig von
Sendezeiten konsumieren lassen. Videos heißen Video podcast, vblog oder Vidcast.

Für den Fremdsprachenunterricht ist das ein großer Materialpool für Hörverstehen, aber auch für
Hör-/Sehverstehensaktivitäten - und das zumeist kostenlos. Ein weiteres Plus ist das regelmäßige
Sendungen kostenlos abonniert werden können und somit zuverlässig auf Ihren Rechner kommen.

1 Welcome to the Grand Canyon. Located in the southwest part of the United States in the
state of Arizona, the Grand Canyon is 277 miles long and up to one mile deep. It was created
by the Colorado River millions of years ago. Long before European settlers saw the canyon,
it was inhabited by Indians who built homes in the canyon.

(1) A university professor in the Southwest tells of a student who went on a one-day trip to
the Grand Canyon. She didn’t return until a week later. When asked what had happened, she
answered that the Grand Canyon was so amazing that she had needed three days just to get
used to it.
10
(2) It is considered by many people to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
The Grand Canyon was formed by the mighty Colorado River cutting into a plateau in
Arizona. The canyon is 277 miles long and about 1 mile deep. Because it’s so deep, the top
and the bottom have very different weather and vegetation. Going from top to the bottom is
15
somewhat going from Canada to Mexico.

Texans flee enormous Rita

Category 5 storm is third most intense ever

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- While more than 1 million people were hurrying to get out of the
way of Hurricane Rita, the Category 5 hurricane was growing more and more turbulent,
becoming the third most intense storm in history.

Officials said the barometric pressure near the eye of the storm was 897 millibars, a lower
reading than Hurricane Katrina, which slammed into the Gulf Coast August 29. Only Hurricane
Gilbert in 1988 (888 mb), which struck Jamaica and the Yucatan area, and the Labor Day
hurricane of 1935 (892 mb), which hit the Florida Keys, had lower pressures. Max Mayfield,
director of the hurricane center, said Rita could be even more damaging than Katrina. "This is
a very, very dangerous hurricane," he said. At 11 p.m. Rita had reached a maximum speed of
175 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

You are planning to visit your penfriend in Liverpool for a week in August.
You get the e-mail below.

Answer the e-mail in about 120 words. Tell your penfriend that:
• you can come for the last week in August (although it’s difficult).
• what you think about Beatle Week.
• what you think about the Mathew Street Festival.
• which events you are interested in.
• Find two additional aspects.

Hi,
It’s really great that you’re coming to visit me and my family.
Can you be here on the last Monday in August? It’s the end of
Beatle Week. It’s the best time to visit the city.
There are gigs and lots of other things to see and do.
The best day is the last Monday as it’s the Mathew Street
Festival. The city centre is one huge party zone all day long.
There are more than 200 bands who play all kinds of music.
Some play Beatles music, of course. And it’s all FREE!!
Please try to be here then, it would be great.
See you!
