Schulisch vermitteltes grammatisches Wissen ist aufgrund der Dominantsetzung des Formendrills wenig nachhaltig verfügbar und seine Sinnhaftigkeit wird bezweifelt. Ziel dieser handlungsbezogenen Grammatikdidaktik ist es, die vorhandenen Problemlöseansätze zusammenzuführen, dadurch dass Formen in ihrer kommunikativen Funktion im Rahmen v…
