Summary/Abstract: The article is based on the science communication project “Verbal Aggression in the Action Field School: Causes, Forms, Violence Prevention” (FWF), which the author realized at 12 schools in Vienna with several classes (a total of 27 classes, pupils 11-17 years old) from 14.3.2018 to 13.9.2019 and on the experience she has gained as a «science ambassador» from the Austrian institution for the cooperation between science and school «Young Science» during the past five years as a result of meetings with Viennese schoolchildren. The activities mentioned provided impulses for this contribution, in which aspects of verbal aggression and verbal violence are presented that can be included in the Language-/German lessons.
