Abstract:
Target language instruction in multilingual settings cannot ignore the linguistic diversity of both the learners and the society. Rather than ignoring the individual and societal multilingualism, leveraging them as resources in learning the target language can be beneficial. In this paper, I trace the evolution of a multilingual instructional sequence that was designed by a practitioner-researcher collaborative team in an German-as-foreign-language institute. The team first studied multilingual projects in other foreign language learning contexts and, with the help of these, identified a set of core components that formed part of the multilingual instruction on-site. Teachers perspectives were gathered during weekly meetings and journal entries. Learners feedback was from weekly reflection journals. Learners language performance of the target grammatical aspects was assessed through obligatory occasion analysis of form-focused and meaning-focused tasks. This process can serve as a blueprint for other researchers and practitioners who wish to develop context-specific multilingual instruction.
