“New Means of Orthography Acquisition. Research – Teaching – Reflection” (Neue Wege des Ortografieerwerbs. Forschung – Vermittlung – Reflexion) is the title of the conference that the orthography acquisition research project (FORTE – Forschungsprojekt Orthografieerwerb) will be holding within the faculty of Linguistics and Literary Studies at the University of Bremen from January 17th – 18th. In times of coexistence of lessons created digitally and non-digitally, the goal of the event is the discussion of questions and findings surrounding the didactic research on German orthography, both in theoretical and practical applications. FORTE, along with the conference participants, hopes to contribute to modern spelling lessons. Location: University of Bremen, SFG building, room 2040.
