text: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Auswirkung expliziter Ausspracheübungen
auf die englische Aussprache von Kindern an Grundschulen in NRW untersucht. Das
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, eine Alternative für den mittel-offenen vorderen Vokal
/æ/ und die dentalen Frikative /, ð/ zu bieten. Es wurde eine Interventionsstudie
mit 72 Teilnehmenden aus drei verschiedenen Grundschulklassen durchgeführt; zwei
vierte Klassen mit verschiedenen Lehrkräften und eine dritte Klasse, die von der
Lehrperson einer der vierten Klassen unterrichtet wurde. Jede Klasse wurde in
eine Kontroll- und zwei Interventionsgruppen (je eine für den Vokal und die Konsonanten)
geteilt. Alle Gruppen wurden einmal zu Beginn und zwei Mal am Ende der Studie
getestet. Zwischen den letzten beiden Tests lagen sechs bis acht Wochen, um einen
mittelfristigen Effekt zu testen. Die Intervention, die nach der ersten Messung
stattfand, wurde auf zwei je ca. drei-minütige Einzelsitzungen aufgeteilt. Während
der Intervention übten die Teilnehmenden mit der Autorin die Aussprache des relevanten
Phonems. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie zeigen, dass die Interventionen einen Effekt
auf die Aussprache der Teilnehmenden hatten. Wie sich dieser Effekt verhält und
entwickelt scheint von der Art des Phonems, dem Alter der Teilnehmenden sowie
der bisherigen Ausspracheschulung abzuhängen. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse liefern
Erkenntnisse nicht nur für die Grundschule selbst, sondern auch für die Lehrer*innenausbildung
und Lehrplanentwicklung.

text: 'This dissertation explores the effect of explicit pronunciation exercises
on the English pronunciation of primary school children in Germany. Pronunciation
is often taught through drilling exercises, not because it is the best way of
learning pronunciation, but for a lack of tried and tested alternatives. The aim
of this dissertation is to provide an alternative method of teaching the pronunciation
of the TRAP vowel and the dental fricatives, focussing especially on the physical
nature of pronunciation. Therefore, an intervention study with German-speaking
primary school pupils was conducted. The 72 participants were taken from three
different classes: two year 4 classes taught by two different teachers and one
year 3 class taught by the same teacher as one of the year 4 classes. Each class
was split into one control group and two intervention groups: one for the TRAP
vowel and one for the dental fricatives. The pronunciation of all participants
was tested once in the beginning of the study and twice at the end of the study.
A six to eight week gap between the latter to tests allowed for an insight into
longer-term results. The pupils of the intervention groups additionally participated
in two one-on-one sessions with the researcher, each lasting no longer than three
minutes, to practice their pronunciation of the respective phoneme(s). The results
of this study show that the exercises had an effect on the pronunciation of the
participants. The nature of that effect seems to depend on the age of the participants
and their previous pronunciation instruction(s). The results provide valuable
insights into how explicit instructions can influence the pronunciation of segmental
features and implications not only for primary school teachers, but also for teacher
training and curriculum development.'

text: 'This thesis is situated in the field of contrastive pragmatics and compares
the syntactic realizations of equivalent directive speech acts in English and
German. The term directive speech act is being used in a more narrow sense than
intended by Searle (1975).Dramatic plays are used as data source for the original
language and the translation into the other language. The four texts are Brechts
“Mutter Courage und Ihre Kinder“, Dürrenmatts „Die Physiker“, Osbornes „Look Back
in Anger“, and Leighs „Abigail‘s Party“.The central questions of this study are:
Which forms are available in each language? Which specific function does a form
fulfill in the system of each language? How do forms correspond across languages?In
general, realizations as regular sentences, irregular sentences and non-sentences
are possible. In the case of regular sentences, the subcategories imperative,
declarative, yes-no interrogative, and wh-interrogative are possible in both languages.
German also offers the adhortative and the infinitive. There are remarkable differences
in terms of frequencies for these types.In general, German and English behave
rather similar in their use of the clause types. The detailed qualitative description
of specific examples constitutes the main part of the analysis and answers the
following questions: which forms occur as equivalences? Under which conditions
can declaratives and interrogatives be used directively?Non-sentences also play
an important role. Formal categories, however, are not helpful; hence the utterances
were grouped according to functional aspects. These are: propositional content,
relationship between speaker and hearer, and illocutionary force.'
