Der Kommentar in Abitur und Sekundarstufe II

Eine explorative Korpusstudie zu materialgestütztem Schreiben in kommunikativen Kontexten

Abstract

This explorative corpus study takes a closer look at the new exam formate materialgestütztes Schreiben. The focus is on the question, how successfully students of the upper secondary realize the genre newspaper commentary. For this reason this study contrasts two corpora by comparing written exams of students with newspaper commentaries of experts. The results of this study show that the texts of the students are closer to the traditional genre „Erörterung“ than to a typical newspaper commentary. Therefore suggestions are made to improve the writing skills of the students by providing an adequate prototype of the genre newspaper commentary.
