The present volume "Language Contrast and Multilingualism" contains contributions that were presented as part of a lecture series at the University of Duisburg/Essen. The topics revolve around multilingualism and the role of linguistic comparison in the field of German as a foreign and second language. The volume is intended to be used in teacher training programs. The contributions address various aspects, including language contact resulting from migration and contact with Romance languages. Methodological problems related to the inclusion of heritage languages in German language instruction and the importance of phraseology are also discussed. Other topics include language typology, multilingualism among students studying German, and the temporal system in Bulgarian. Conceptual designs for Romanian didactics and a communicative-oriented German as a foreign language instruction are also presented. The volume provides extensive bibliographies and can be useful for specific questions regarding multilingualism didactics. [Extracted from the article]
