Diskussions- und Debattierfertigkeiten
Discussion and Debate Skills
Debattieren heißt in Echtzeit argumentieren: die eigene Position differenziert darlegen und sofort auf Gegenargumente reagieren, ohne Zeit zum Überarbeiten. Das trägt eigenes Sprachmaterial — Diskursroutinen wie I see your point, but …; that's precisely why … — und den spontanen Abruf von Argumentationsstrukturen, die schriftlich schon sitzen. Der Unterschied zum Aufsatz ist die Spontaneität: Struktur muss im Moment stehen. Kernformat der mündlichen Abiturprüfung.
