Summary/Abstract: Media education is the education about media, through media, and for media. It facilitates the development of essential media literacy to understand and use media properly. This also includes the understanding of various contents, particularly informative texts. Foreign language classes provide an excellent opportunity to foster media competencies/literacy. Working with typical task formats of media education in DaF (German as a foreign language) classes facilitates not only the development and enhancement of language proficiency but also of media literacy.
