About

The journal KorDaF – Korpora Deutsch als Fremdsprache focuses on the use of corpora in research and teaching as well as in institutional teaching contexts (e.g. university, school or other educational institutions). The journal covers a wide range of topics: In addition to issues of scientific theory and research methodology, it also presents examples of applied work with corpora related to German as a foreign language. Further, the journal addresses all scientific fields related to German as a first, second or foreign language. At the same time, work, research and teaching with corpora remain a constant point of reference. Key issues are therefore corpus construction and its use for DaF, DaF didactics and DaF acquisition, educational language/scientific language/specialized language, as well as corpus-based/corpus-supported foreign and second language teaching.
