Aspetti interculturali per l'insegnamento del tedesco nelle Facoltà di Economia. Kein Wirtschaftsdeutsch ohne deutsche, österreichische und schweizerische Kultur

The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of a L2-teaching, in our case the teaching of German in the Faculty of Economics, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, with great emphasis on intercultural aspects. As time available for the language teaching is short and there is a close connection between language and culture, we suggest not only integrating the teaching of the culture in the teaching of L2, but taking the cultural aspects as a departure point for the teaching of L2. We finally present a short plan of our teaching of German culture and language.
