Sumari:In foreign language teaching, native speakers are not always the ones teaching the target language. But what is the role of a teacher‘s multilingual skills when teaching German as a foreign language (GFL), and how are these skills used, promoted, or required by learners in the classroom? Using a case study of GFL taught to adults in Jordan, this article examines the languages, communicative strategies and multilingual practices employed by the non-native foreign language teacher. The results show that the teacher’s own multilingual profile positively influences the presence of multilingualism in the classroom. This article provides a theoretical introduction to the topic, followed by an overview of the case study and its design. In the context of foreign language teaching, the specific phases of a lesson and the reasons why teachers switch languages and use multilingualism will then be investigated using discourse analysis methods. The focus is on the teacher’s strategies during classroom interactions.
