Abstract

The paper examines the effects of multilingual awareness-raising training on L3 writing performance. A set of writing samples retrieved from October to January 2020/21 from two groups of Hungarian students (N=29, respectively) with L2 English and L3 German was analysed. In the intervention group, special attention was paid to raising multilingual awareness, sensitisation towards cross-linguistic similarities and differences between English and German, while the control group received the most widely used L3 teaching method based on Hungarian. It was found that the intervention group produced longer, grammatically more accurate, meaningful texts employing a more diverse and complex vocabulary. It is concluded that applying multilingual awareness-raising would represent a favourable teaching approach in teaching German as L3 in Hungary.
