The day began with a presentation by Prof. Hans-Joachim Roth from the University of Cologne, who discussed the SPEAK project in the context of the meta-project “Language Education in an Immigration Society.” The importance of systematic language support with a focus on grammatical skills was highlighted in the presentation by Prof. Dr. Tanja Ulrich from the University of Duisburg-Essen. The SPEAK project team also presented the concept of the SPEAK intervention and the initial results of the first cohort. The presentation was accompanied by a brief input from a practical perspective by Michael van Bonn, a participating teacher at the Catholic Barbaraschule Duisburg. In order to highlight possibilities for the appropriate transfer of the SPEAK support program into school practice, there was a concluding panel discussion with all speakers and Heidrun Schumacher as representative of the Gelsenkirchen Education Office.
