The specialist library for language gives you access to current literature in the areas of language education, multilingualism, DAZ/DAF and social diversity. In addition, we accompany and support you in the early stages of the writing process, for example in finding ideas and researching literature. We create (writing) spaces where conversation and exchange with fellow students is possible.
The library "Language Education" is located at the Institute for German Language and Literature and its Didactics (IDD) in room C 1.131 and is not part of the central library. All interested people, especially students and teachers of Leuphana are cordially invited.
In addition to in-person services, we offer additional online materials and online meeting times.
All offers and dates can be found in our moodle room.

#SERVICE-CAFÉ
Are you currently volunteering in the field? Maybe in a seminar context or DaZ module?
Or are you interested in getting practically involved?
Then you are cordially invited to our Service-Café!
Thanks to the support of the LehrWEP and S3 projects, a Service-Café runs every two weeks in the summer term 2023. It is aimed at all students who are taking part in hands-on experiences in schools or other institutions in the context of language education or support. We offer a space for exchange and reflection on practice engagement. Questions, problems and concerns from practice are discussed or experiences are exchanged over a cup of tea or coffee. Topics and requests can be communicated in advance on Moodle so that we can prepare materials or input if necessary. If you sign up here in the subscriber list at Moodle, you will always be reminded of the next dates of the Service-Café.
Currently there are no further dates planned. Feel free to check back here regularly for updates and new dates in the winter term 2023-24 or contact us.
Please contact Saskia Samland with any questions or comments about the Service-Café: saskia.samland@leuphana.de.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
moodleROOM
We have set up a moodle room for exchange and discussion on topics of language education, multilingualism or DAZ/DAF.
There we will also inform you about news or events.
You can find the moodle room HERE.
