| Description | The article describes the structure and several formulations of one of the typical German text types Arbeitszeugnis (Reference paper from the employer for the employee) and shows how to implement this text type into German language teaching focussing on enhancing the discourse competence. The description of this text type includes legal frames in Austria, Germany and Czechia. The implementation into teaching follows Schmölzer Eibinger’s 3 phase model for promoting text competence and demonstrates how to deal with such texts, which seem to be quite complicated even for native speakers. The Arbeitszeugnis should be a topic in German language teaching for its specific features and because it is an integral part of vocational life in German speaking countries. |
