Sprache in der Sozialpädagogik

Effective language support must take into account the individual language learning needs and conditions. It should be child-centered and applicable in everyday educational settings, but it should not be offered as a one-size-fits-all solution. This textbook aims to enable educators to recognize individual language learning prerequisites and derive targeted support measures for individual children or groups of children.
