Harald Gutschow

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harald Gutschow (born December 2, 1927 , † November 5, 1998 ) was professor for didactics of English language and literature at the Berlin University of Education from 1971 to 1980, and at the Free University of Berlin from 1980 to 1985 .

life and work

In the wake of the " Hamburg Agreement for the Unification in the Field of Schooling" of 1964, which made "English lessons for everyone" compulsory, Gutschow developed a school-type-specific methodology for teaching English at elementary and secondary schools, which he wrote in books and essays as well as in the magazine Englisch (at Cornelsen ), which he co-founded and published . These methodological principles, which have also been recognized as groundbreaking for English teaching at other types of schools, were put into practice in the first textbook for English at secondary schools, English H , as well as in the associated teacher manuals (also by Cornelsen ).

Harald Gutschow died in 1998 at the age of 70. His grave is in the Dahlem Forest Cemetery in Berlin.
