Language education and promotion along the educational biography

Language is an important prerequisite for a self-determined and independent life. And vice versa: when children and young people fail at school, a lack of language skills, in this case German language skills, is often the reason.

In Wolfsburg, an overall concept for the promotion of language skills "along the educational biography" will therefore be developed over the next few years, which will coordinate and further develop the existing measures in this area. The aim is for as many children as possible to learn German at a level that will enable them to be successful at school and at work during their nursery and school years.

Close cooperation between educational institutions is necessary in order to provide children and young people with well-coordinated support in developing their language skills - from nursery to vocational training. In the school sector, however, this also requires the promotion of German language skills not only in German lessons, but also a systematic combination of language and subject learning in all school subjects.

In order to achieve this goal, parents and other stakeholders in Wolfsburg's educational landscape are involved.

The language education and support project thus makes a significant contribution to the city of Wolfsburg's overall inclusion project.
