About the Journal
DiSlaw
Didaktik slawischer Sprachen (DiSlaw) meets the urgent need for a subject-specific language journal for Slavic foreign and heritage languages in German-speaking countries by investigating various issues of language acquisition in a theoretically informed and practice-oriented manner.
Instead of compiling a mere collection of best practice methods, the journal subscribes to the academic tradition of language education as a research- and theory-based discipline with an eye to practical application.
We intend to publish articles in Bosnian, Croatian, English, German, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, and Ukrainian. In principle, however, our bi-annual journal is open to all Slavic languages. [read more]

Current Issue
We are pleased to present the fifth issue of the journal DiSlaw. It is dedicated to teaching reading and literature and accordingly zooms in on the possible uses of literary texts in foreign language teaching. In doing so, we explore three fundamental questions: What is literature? What can it be used for in the classroom? And: How can this be done? These questions help us to approach the triad of objectives, content and methods that determines the didactic framework of teaching (cf. e.g. Heimann et al., 1965; Klingberg, 1995, 41).
