In Vorträgen und Workshops wurde das Konzept "Lernerautonomie" im universitären udn schulischen Sprachenuntericht diskutiert.

Zweitägige Konferenz rückte das Konzept "Learner Autonomy" in den Mittelpunkt des wissenschaftlichen Gesprächs

Mit Lernerautonomie - Learner Autonomy - meint die Wissenschaft eine besondere Form der Lernorientierung mit dem Gedanken, Lernende etwa beim Sprachunterricht selbstständig über Ziele, Inhalte, Methoden und Arbeitstechniken entscheiden zu lassen. Diese Form der Wissensvermittlung ist noch sehr jung und versucht gerade im modernen Sprachunterricht Fuss zu fassen. Ein Kontrapunkt dazu ist der klassische und allseits praktizierte Unterricht im Klassenzimmer. An der Universität Graz fand dieser Tage eine Konferenz statt, die Learner Autonomy zum Thema hatte und vor allem die Zukunft dieses Konzepts genauer unter die Lupe nahm.

Rund 80 TeilnehmerInnen besuchten die Tagung, die am 2. und 3. Juni 2017 vom treffpunkt sprachen in Kooperation mit dem Institut für Anglistik der Uni Graz veranstaltet wurde. Zentral diskutiert wurden dabei Fragen wie der Sprachunterricht durch Learner Autonomy verändert wurde und weshalb das Konzept noch keine weite Verbreitung gefunden hat. Vizerektor Peter Riedler, der die Tagung eröffnete, und Dr. Daniela Unger-Ullmann, Leiterin von treffpunkt sprachen, betonten die Wichtigkeit dieses Wissensaustausches auf universitärer Ebene. Prominente ReferentInnen wie David Little vom Trinity College Dublin, Leni Dam, University College of Copenhagen, oder Univ.-Prof. Sarah Mercer und Dr.  Anja Burkert vom Institut für Anglistik der Uni Graz waren ebenso am Wort wie Studierende und NachwuchswissenschafterInnen.

In hot water: New Report reveals record losses in glaciers, permafrost and snow cover

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes. The recently published cryosphere report provides specific figures for Austria. “Our monitoring shows a clear trend with record losses of ice and snow,” says project leader Wolfgang Schöner from the University of Graz.

Theologian at the University of Graz: What the excommunication of the Society of St Pius X

Following the schism involving the Society of St Pius X, there is a need for discussion.

“HeinrichBiCool”: University of Graz demonstrates the effects of green facades and roofs

The University of Graz has launched a pioneering project at the University Centre for Theology. Its name, “HeinrichBiCool”, says it all: a comprehensive system of green facades and roof will cool the building at Heinrichstraße 80 during the summer. At the same time, this will create a new habitat for plants and animals, helping to increase biodiversity. The accompanying monitoring programme will provide detailed data on the impact of the measures on indoor climate, energy consumption and biodiversity. The findings will lay a scientifically sound foundation for further projects aimed at making cities sustainable, climate-resilient and liveable. The partners in this project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), are AEE INTEC – Institute for Sustainable Technologies, Technisches Büro Siegfried Stark, the landscape architecture and urban planning firm “studio boden”, and Ökoteam Graz.
