Tipps und Entscheidungshilfen für die Ausbildungswahl
Reading and writing skills are important - both for everyday life and for professional activities. Many migrants have to learn to read and write in German from scratch. This may be because they wrote in a different alphabet in their home country or because they were not allowed to attend school. Before attending a literacy course, the people concerned are not prepared to attend a regular German course.
In Switzerland, it is estimated that around 800,000 people have great difficulty with reading and writing, which corresponds to around 9% of the Swiss population. However, this does not only affect immigrants, but also Swiss citizens. Nevertheless, literacy courses are primarily aimed at migrants who have never even come into contact with the Latin alphabet.
Literacy courses do not primarily teach participants German skills, but these are of course also trained at the same time and in some cases are also specifically geared towards vocabulary relevant to everyday life and work. First and foremost, the basic skills of the Latin alphabet are taught, i.e. writing - letter by letter - as well as putting the individual letters together and reading, whereby more in-depth knowledge of the German language is also automatically acquired so that simple everyday conversations can be held in leisure time or at work.
