Zusammenfassung
Die Betreuung von Kindern mit Problemen beim Erwerb der Schriftsprache stellt im Kontext
von Mehrsprachigkeit Fachleute vor ganz neue Anforderungen. Bei mehrsprachig aufwachsenden
Kindern mit Schwächen beim Lesen und Schreiben ist zu entscheiden, ob die Schriftsprachprobleme
durch eine umschriebene Entwicklungsstörung (LRS) oder durch einen unzureichenden
Kontakt zur Zweitsprache bedingt sind. Bei der Betreuung und Beratung dieser Kinder
und deren Eltern sind sprachenspezifische Besonderheiten sowohl hinsichtlich der LRS-Symptomatik
als auch bezüglich der Förderung zu berücksichtigen. Mehrsprachigkeit wird aber nicht
nur von Migrantenkindern, sondern im Rahmen des Fremdsprachenunterrichts auch von
Muttersprachlern erwartet. Dies stellt Kinder mit einer LRS vor erhebliche Probleme,
da sie in der Regel nicht nur im Fach Deutsch, sondern auch im Fremdsprachenunterricht
den Anforderungen nur mit Mühe gerecht werden können. Eltern von LRS-Kindern sind
deshalb zu beraten, welche Fremdsprache für ihr Kind am besten geeignet ist und welche
spezifischen Fördermaßnahmen den Fremdsprachenerwerb erleichtern können. In der Arbeit
wird ein Überblick über den gegenwärtigen Kenntnisstand zu Fragen der LRS im Kontext
Mehrsprachigkeit gegeben. Empfehlungen für die Betreuung von bilingualen Kindern mit
Lese-Rechtschreibschwierigkeiten und von LRS-Kindern mit Problemen im Fremdsprachenunterricht
werden abgeleitet.
Abstract
Children with difficulties in reading and spelling who are being raised bilingually
present a particular challenge to the professionals assessing and working with them.
It must be decided whether the problems are due to a specific developmental disorder
of written language or to limited contact with the second language. Language-specific
aspects must be considered with regard to both the character of the developmental
disorder and the proposed interventions. Speaking more than one language is expected
not only of children of immigrants but also of native speakers in foreign language
classes. For children with dyslexia the acquisition of a foreign language is especially
challenging. Most of these children have difficulties learning to read and spell not
only in their mother tongue but also in the new language. Parents need advice on which
foreign language would be most suitable for their child to learn and what special
techniques would facilitate acquisition of the foreign language. The present paper
provides an overview of current knowledge about dyslexia and multilingualism. Recommendations
are then made for how best to help chil-dren with dyslexia who are being raised with
two languages and also those dyslexic children who are originally monolingual and
are beginning foreign language instruction.
