Kulturbezogenes Lernen mit Linguistic Landscapes am Beispiel von Fußball und Fankultur

This article shows how foreign language learners can be led to perceive their living environment as a linguistic landscape rich in opportunities to acquire not only linguistic, but also cultural knowledge. To this end, cultural learning is first reflected upon and then the research on linguistic landscapes will be introduced. Finally, this approach is illustrated with specific examples from the world of football and fan culture. It will be shown to what extent, for example, the perception of stickers offers access to discourses conducted in Germany and thus opportunities for cultural learning.
