Deutsch schreiben in der Grundstufe –zwischen Sicherheit und ersten Schritten zur Kreativität

本研究では共通科目の「ドイツ語Ⅲ」（2 年生前期）で2007 年から2011 年まで作成されたテキストを分析する。宿題あるいは期末試験で書かれたテキストで、テーマは「夏休み・冬休みでは何をしますか？」と「自己紹介」である。学生はミスをしたくないので、文章は短く、教科書の例文と同じパターンが多く見られがちである。教科書の例文と異なるパターンの文章は創造的な作文（クリエーティブ・ライティング）の第一歩だと思われる。This article looks at texts that were written by 2nd year students in the class “German 3” at Aichi University of Education between 2007 and 2011. Two sets of data have been analysed, with the first involving descriptions of plans for holidays and the second involving self-introductions, with both types being written either as homework or as part of an end of term exam. Many sentences are very short as students appear to have aimed to play it safe and just produce slight variations of the sentences they had found in their textbooks. Some variations regarding grammar and syntax can be observed, and these variations are seen as a first step to creative writing
