Abstract

Our contribution aims at a critical analysis of concepts such as “multilingualism”, “German as a second language” and “academic language”. We problematize the way in which an understanding of these concepts has moved from an academic category to a more everyday usage. We furthermore argue that a more differentiated view of the multilingual realities of pupils and thus a differentiated perception of their potentials and needs are required.
