The handbook for subject-specific and vocational German language teaching provides the fundamental knowledge that anyone involved in subject-specific language instruction in DaF (German as a Foreign Language), DaZ (German as a Second Language), and subject-specific teaching in German should possess—whether as a student, teacher, or trainer. It offers:

• An overview of the didactic and methodological relevant features of specialized languages in the natural sciences, engineering, and economics, as well as technically and economically oriented specialized languages.
• An overview of intercultural factors in the teaching of German as a foreign language and in relevant technical communication.
• Techniques for course planning and preparation.
• A concept for subject-specific teaching that outlines the roles of teachers, learners, and teaching materials, as well as their interaction.
• A set of tools for analyzing technical texts and teaching materials, as well as their suitability for instruction.
• Approximately 250 pages of exercise typologies for teaching and practicing subject-specific vocabulary, relevant grammar, communication procedures, and for developing reading comprehension, listening/viewing comprehension, and oral and written subject-specific text production.
• A detailed table of contents and an index for convenient use.
• Comprehensive references for solid orientation.
