“…Of particular importance was the 2012 special issue of Unterrichtspraxis, which emphasized pluricentricity and called for exposing students to more German varieties (Arnett & Levine, 2012). Some academics responded to that call by creating modules to teach students about Austrian and Swiss German (Hägi, 2015;Moser-Pacher, 2014;Pabisch, 2012;Schweiger, 2014;van Kerckvoorde, 2012). In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that, of the three nations, Germany has approximately 85% of the speakers and Austria and Switzerland the remaining 15% (van Kerckvoorde, 2012).…”

German is a pluricentric language with many standard and nonstandard varieties. Students of German are usually unaware of its rich regional variation, and studies attribute this to limited resources and instructional time (van Kerckvoorde, 2012). The “DACH” model of teaching German, which includes linguistic and cultural elements from Germany (D), Austria (A), and Switzerland (CH), has constituted an effort to go somewhat beyond a model that exclusively teaches Standard German, from Germany. However, when not contextualized properly, DACH itself oversimplifies language variation, shifting the attention from one standard version of German to three. This article proposes that German's variation should be taught to students at all levels and may be considered in the framework of the ACTFL Guidelines and Standards. These strongly support learners' successful functioning in real‐world and authentic situations, including in dealing with varying dialects. This article will offer an overview of German language variation, it will outline how its integration is aligned with the ACTFL Guidelines (2012), and it will discuss some current instructional challenges. Finally, it will offer concrete examples for instructors by using existing sections from popular college German textbooks and by presenting several worksheets on dialect teaching for the novice, intermediate, and advanced levels.

Članek obravnava jezikovno realnost slovenskih državljanov v Avstriji, ki s prenosom svojega prebivališča ali delovnega mesta zaradi nemščine, njenih različic in drugih jezikov, ki se tam govorijo, vstopijo v jezikovno heterogen družbeni prostor. Namen raziskave je bil na eni strani ugotoviti, katere jezike in jezikovne zvrsti slovenski uporabljajo državljani v svojem (delovnem) vsakdanjiku v Avstriji, na drugi strani pa, ali med priseljenci in čezmejnimi delavci obstajajo statistično značilne razlike. Raziskava ponuja prvi sociolingvistični vpogled v še precej neraziskano temo.
