English is all around Graz!

Ob beim Bäcker, in Modegeschäften oder in Banken - überall finden sich heutzutage englische Wörter und Phrasen wieder, besonders in die Slogans und Werbungen. Wir durften dies am Freitag, den 13. Oktober, mit einer Klasse der Montessori-Schule (1.- 4. Schulstufe) aus dem Ennstal erleben und festhalten. Gemeinsam wanderten wir durch die Innenstadt und hielten nach englischen Wörtern Ausschau. Es war überraschend für unsere Workshop-Teilnehmer*innen, wie groß und vielfältig die English Landscape in Graz ist. Deshalb war es umso spannender für die kleinen Forscher*innen, englische Wörter zu finden und auch zu entschlüsseln. Nach einem stärkenden Mittagessen gab es noch eine anschließende Diskussion der gesammelten Beispiele. Es war definitiv ein gelungener Tag mit viel Freude, Spaß und Wissenserwerb für Groß und Klein!

 

English version

Whether at the bakery, in fashion stores or in banks - English words and phrases can be found everywhere these days, especially in slogans and advertisements. We were able to experience and capture this on Friday, October 13th, with a class from the Montessori school (grades 1-4) from Ennstal. We walked through the city centre together, looking for English words and phrases. It was surprising to our workshop participants how large and diverse the English landscape in Graz is. That's why it was even more exciting for the little researchers to collect examples of English. After a refreshing lunch, we discussed their findings. It was a successful day with lots of joy, fun and learning for young and old!
