TY - JOUR A1 - Polášková, Eva T1 - Zur Entwicklung der Paraphrasierungs- und Zusammenfassungskompetenz bei Studierenden : ausgewählte Aspekte der Arbeit mit Fachtexten T1 - The development of students' competence in paraphrasing and summarizing texts: selected aspects of working with specialist texts T2 - Acta Facultatis Philosophicae Universitatis Ostraviensis / Studia Germanistica N2 - Some students evidently find it difficult to paraphrase the content of a text (particularly a specialist or professional text) after reading it. This inability may have a negative impact on their performance when writing Bachelor theses or when studying in general. This paper therefore addresses the question of how to help students of German develop the important competency of paraphrasing and summarizing the content of texts. The starting point was a small-scale research project conducted among students at the Department of German Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ostrava; the results of the research were analyzed to identify the main problems encountered by students when carrying out these tasks. This analysis forms the basis for an overview of strategies and methods which can be practised by students when paraphrasing and summarizing the content of texts. The article systematizes the key processes and operations for paraphrasing and summarizing with reference to the theoretical literature. The article seeks to contribute to the discussion of a broad range of methods that can be used to help improve the quality of foreign language studies and the study of specialist and professional language KW - Sachtext KW - Fachsprache KW - Textverstehen KW - Paraphrase KW - Zusammenfassung KW - Fremdsprachenunterricht Y1 - 2018 UR - http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/47871 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hebis:30:3-478715 UR - http://periodika.osu.cz/studiagermanistica/ SN - 1803-408X VL - 11 IS - 19 SP - 115 EP - 135 PB - Ostravská univerzita v Ostravě CY - Ostrava ER -
