Der Autor untersucht das kontrovers diskutierte Thema des bundesdeutschen Systems der dualen Berufsausbildung. Zum einen erscheint das System unverzichtbar, um dem drohenden Mangel an Fachkraften in der Wirtschaft zu begegnen, zum anderen wird jedoch die duale Berufsausbildung von der anhaltenden Akademisierungswelle mehr und mehr zuruckgedrangt. Zusatzlich scheint die Ausbildungsbereitschaft der Betriebe weiterhin nachzulassen, wahrend sich alternative Formen der Erstausbildung entwickelt haben, die zum Teil in der Berufsvorbereitung zu einer internen Konkurrenz verschiedener Systemansatze gefuhrt haben. Schliesslich gilt es, vorgegebenen Massnahmen der Europaisierung zu folgen, die sich nicht in allen Belangen als stutzend fur das Duale System erweisen.

Berufsfeld-Kommunikation: Deutsch versammelt Beitrage einer internationalen Fachkonferenz an der Warsaw School of Economics, die das Ziel hatte, Experten an der Schnittstelle von Germanistik, Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache sowie aus der beruflichen Aus- und Weiterbildung im Sinne einer nachhaltigen, bedarfsorientierten Ausrichtung von Fremdsprachenlehrangeboten ein Forum zum Austausch uber aktuelle Erkenntnisse zu bieten. Die Tagung blickte auf Instrumente und Verfahren zur Erhebung sprachlich-kommunikativer Kompetenzen fur den Beruf, auf sprachlich-kommunikative Anforderungen in ausgewahlten Berufsfeldern - u.a. Finanzbuchhaltung, Fremdenverkehr, Medizin, priesterliche Seelsorge - sowie auf Modelle und Praxisbeispiele zur Gestaltung von Lernraumen, in denen sich sprachlich-kommunikative Kompetenzen berufsfeldnah und zielgruppengerecht trainieren lassen.

Die vielfaltigen Verknupfungen zwischen Bildung, Arbeit und Biografie werden in dieser Festschrift fur Rudolf Husemann aus einer zeitbezogenen Perspektive beleuchtet. Die gewahlten Zugange fokussieren dabei zum einen spezifische Lebensphasen aus der Bildungs-, Arbeits- und Biografieperspektive, so z.B. die Berufseinstiegs- oder Ausstiegsphase. Zum anderen lassen sich unter dem genannten Themendach spezifische Zeitdimensionen verorten, wie z.B. Zeit fur Bildung, Zeitarbeit etc. Zu diesen Fragestellungen wurden aktuelle theoretische Diskurse, empirische Forschungsergebnisse und Projektberichte aus der Bildungspraxis zusammengefuhrt. Die Autorinnen und Autoren sind in der Bildungs-, Berufs- und Arbeitsforschung sowie in der Bildungspraxis im bundesdeutschen und internationalen Kontext tatig.

The ten year anniversary of the book offers an excellent opportunity to publish a second edition. Several aspects of the book have evolved considerably since its first printing. For instance, substantial revision to the internship, licensure, and certification processes has occurred, and are reflected in this resource. Much of the literature on clinical psychology, cultural sensitivity, and the current job market is updated. Changes in technology have large effects on teaching and practicing clinical psychology. These modifications are needed to offer appropriate and updated information for students. In short, virtually every chapter has substantial modification to ensure that the material is accurate and up to date.

Wirtschaft und empirische Bildungsforschung bemangeln einhellig fehlende sprachlich-kommunikative Kompetenzen von Auszubildenden und BewerberInnen. Dennoch hat die Deutschdidaktik den UEbergang von den allgemeinbildenden Schulen in eine Ausbildung bislang weitgehend vernachlassigt. Der Band widmet sich dieser Schnittstelle. Vor dem Hintergrund der These, dass die sprachlich-kommunikativen Defizite nicht nur individuell, sondern auch institutionell zu verantworten sind, konfrontiert die Arbeit empirische Befunde zu den sprachlich-kommunikativen Kompetenzen von Jugendlichen am Ende der Sekundarstufe I mit empirischen Ergebnissen zu den sprachlich-kommunikativen Anforderungen an diese Jugendlichen in Ausbildung und Beruf. Dieser Abgleich mundet in einer Diskussion, wie der Deutsch-, aber auch der Fachunterricht in der Sekundarstufe I die SchulerInnen auf die sprachlich-kommunikativen Anforderungen einer Ausbildung vorbereiten kann.
