Library "Language Education"

The specialist library for language provides 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 the podcast "Behind the Writing Scenes" you can learn more about the subject library and the importance of a room  for starting a new writing project in an interview with Inga Buhrfeind.

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 or in myStudy in the Course Catalogue in the section "additional offers (without CPs) > Fachbibliothek Sprache".

Tuesdays: 2 - 4 p.m.
Wednesdays: 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Thursdays: 4 - 6 p.m.

Feel free to stop by, explore our books and materials, or just come and interact with others who are interested. A student assistant is available for peer consultations at any time during open hours.

Other requests for literature reviews or consultations are welcome at: fachbib-sprache@leuphana.de.

We are looking forward to meeting you!
