Product description

Conceptuality and Mediality – Koch & Oesterreicher's Language Proximity & Distance Teaching Unit

Introduce students to one of the most influential linguistic models in upper secondary education with this comprehensive 47-page printable teaching unit.

Based on the work of Peter Koch and Wulf Oesterreicher, students explore the relationship between mediality, conceptuality, and language proximity and distance through authentic communication examples, guided analysis, and engaging classroom activities.

Students learn why spoken language is not always informal and written language is not always formal. Using chats, emails, conversations, speeches, newspaper articles, and additional authentic texts, they classify communication along the proximity–distance continuum while applying academic linguistic terminology.

Organized into 7 structured instructional modules, the resource progresses from theoretical foundations to authentic language analysis and concludes with comprehensive exam preparation and assessment materials.
