In diesem Beitrag wird zunächst das Konzept des digital storytelling mit dem Tablet im frühen Fremdsprachenunterricht methodisch-didaktisch gerahmt (Kapitel 1). Daran anschließend wird die Bedeutung lernunterstützender Maßnahmen in einem solchen digital gestützten und potenziell kreativitätsfördernden Unterrichtssetting erläutert (Kapitel 2). In Kapitel 3 folgt die Vorstellung der Unterrichtsreihe „It’s storytime – Let’s create our own digital fairy tale“. Im Verlauf dieser Unterrichtsreihe, die auch als Projektwoche angelegt werden kann, rezipieren die Schüler:innen zunächst eigenständig Märchen in englischer Sprache, die aus dem deutschen und angloamerikanischen Sprachraum bekannt sind. Die Märchen liegen für das Tablet multimedial aufbereitet vor. Anschließend entwickeln die Lernenden auf Grundlage des erarbeiteten gattungsspezifischen Wortschatzes ein eigenes multimediales Märchen. Alle für die Unterrichtsreihe benötigten digitalen und analogen Materialien stehen als Download zur Verfügung und können für den eigenen Unterricht genutzt und adaptiert werden.
The fastest growing regional crisis is happening in West Africa today, with over 8 million people considered persons of concern. A culmination of identity politics, climate-driven disasters, and extreme poverty has led to this humanitarian crisis in the region and is exacerbated by a lack of political will and misplaced media attention. The current state of the art does not present sufficient investigations of the thematic and spatial coverage of news media of this crisis in this region. This paper studies the spatial coverage of this crisis as reported in the media, and the themes associated with those locations, based on a curated dataset. For the time frame 12 March to 15 September 2021, 2017 news articles related to the refugee crisis in West Africa were examined and manually coded based on (1) the geographical locations mentioned in each article; (2) the themes found in the articles in reference to a location (e.g., Relocation of people in Abuja). The dataset introduces a thematic dimension, as never achieved before, to the conflict-ridden areas in West Africa. A comparative analysis with UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) data showed that 96.8% of refugee-related locations in West Africa were not covered by news during the considered time frame. Contrastingly, 80.4% of locations mentioned in the news do not appear in the UNHCR repository. Most news articles published during this time frame reported on Development aid or Political statements. Linear multiple regression analysis showed GDP per capita and political stability to be among the most influential determinants of news coverage.
High rates of land conversion due to urbanization are causing fragmented and dispersed spatial patterns in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) worldwide. The occurrence of anthropogenic fires in the WUI represents an important environmental and social issue, threatening not only vegetated areas but also periurban inhabitants, as is the case in many Latin American cities. However, research has not focused on the dynamics of the local climate in the WUI. This study analyzes whether wildfires contribute to the increase in land surface temperature (LST) in the WUI of the metropolitan area of the city of Guanajuato (MACG), a semi-arid Mexican city. We estimated the pre- and post-fire LST for 2018–2021. Spatial clusters of high LST were detected using hot spot analysis and examined using ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc statistical tests to assess whether LST is related to the spatial distribution of wildfires during our study period. Our results indicate that the areas where the wildfires occurred, and their surroundings, show higher LST. This has negative implications for the local ecosystem and human population, which lacks adequate infrastructure and services to cope with the effects of rising temperatures. This is the first study assessing the increase in LST caused by wildfires in a WUI zone in Mexico.
Die Zeitschrift promptus – Würzburger Beiträge zur Romanistik erscheint einmal jährlich und wird durch den gemeinnützigen Verein promptus e.V. herausgegeben.
Sie richtet sich an alle Nachwuchswissenschaftler im Bereich der romanistischen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft sowie der Fachdidaktik und bietet diesen die Möglichkeit, in einem frühen Stadium ihrer akademischen Laufbahn qualitativ hochwertige Arbeiten zu publizieren. Zudem versteht sich die Zeitschrift als Impulsgeber für junge romanistische Forschung, ohne sich dabei thematisch zu beschränken.

In order to do so, two theories are applied to newly assembled data, gathered during a field study in 2019 in Yucatán: The Interface Hypothesis (Sorace 2011) and Heine/Kuteva’s contact-induced grammaticalization (2003). The village Xocén in which the field study was conducted is characterized by monolingualism in Maya as well as bilingualism in Spanish and Maya. Data was collected to investigate the influence of Spanish on Mayan morphology, especially on the use of the subjunctive. I propose that the data can best be explained by combining the Interface Hypothesis with Heine/Kutevas’s (2003) approach.tán: The Interface Hypothesis (Sorace 2011) and Heine/Kuteva’s cThe aim of this article is to document the outcomes of language contact between Yucatecan Maya and Mexican Spanish.

The cluster of texts assembled here were imagined, crafted, and brought together as a collaborative writing project that emerged from the seminar titled "Words Matter Worlds: Activist Scholarship and Literary Praxis," which convened over the course of the 2021/22 winter semester as an offering of the American Studies department of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg. Like the seminar that nurtured the considerations that evolve here, these contributions engage with how scholarly writing practices in general, and literary and cultural studies in particular, can remake the world.

Research communication has been gaining public attention in recent years. Therefore, medievalists also need to focus on the transfer of their research topics to the public both within and outside the university. Based on current political demands calling for a change in communication culture, the article first of all deals theoretically with two different concepts of research communication, by distinguishing between forms of translation and those of popularization. Numerous public events, exhibitions, and cooperative projects with cities, schools, adult education centres, museums, and other educational institutions show that knowledge about the Middle Ages has been trans-mitted to interested laypersons for a long time. The authors see a particular challenge in the alterity of medieval culture, which at the same time provides an excellent opportunity for transferring research findings into society. The fascination with medieval materiality facilitates the transfer of knowledge by those disciplines that work with concrete objects, addressing issues of visuality and aesthetic experience. The article pinpoints conditions, strategies, and perspectives of successful research communication in medieval studies, and when focussing on cur-rent topics, the authors refer to concrete occasions and regional examples, showing why medieval research is still relevant today.
