Abstract

The importance of discipline-specific language learning in all subjects is now widely recognized. The introduction of computer science as a compulsory subject for all students of all types of schools in many places makes it even more important to take the linguistic heterogeneity of the student population into account. This poster abstract aims to present the development and implementation of a course in our master’s degree program designed to equip future CS teachers with language-sensitive teaching strategies.
