Förderung der Lesekompetenz durch selbstgesteuerte Nutzung von elektronischen Medien
Promoting reading skills through self-directed use of electronic media

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present a practical project which took place in 2022/2023 at the Foreign Language High School Petar Bogdan in Montana, Bulgaria, whose objective is to encourage German language students in the 10th grade to read more independently and according to their own interests authentic texts on current topics from Austria, Germany and Switzerland, and present and discuss them in class. The project News Studio follows the DACH principle for the fundamental recognition of the diversity of the German-speaking area and the reference to more than one country of the target language in the context of teaching German as a foreign or second language. As a result, the assigned tasks significantly increase the students' activity in the German classes and enrich their basic knowledge about the culture, history, politics and social life of the German-speaking countries.
