A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN ENGLISH AND GERMAN FOR NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS THROUGH DIGITAL LANGUAGE

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to shed light on the concept of how L2 and L3 can be enhanced. In this regard, digital language in English and German are examined in terms of a comparative study in the context of non-native speakers and the following research questions are focused: 1) What can German teachers consider when using digital language in the class?; 2) What kind of effective Teaching Materials and Tasks can be employed based on the efficient language teaching performance?; and 3) What practical recommendations can be provided to FL teachers concerning effective language pedagogy? It is suggested in this study that comparing the knowledge of German with what learners have learned previously, namely the knowledge of English, can enhance the competence of learners when learning German language. Regarding data analysis, the language functions of the two languages are analyzed qualitatively which will lead to some practical recommendations for FL teachers concerning effective language pedagogy in the context of L2 and L3. Additionally, the results of this study may be applied to develop the competence of students to their fullest potential and to enable them to compete with graduates from other institutions and other countries.
