The vocational German language support programme of the Federal Government recommends extensive use of digital learning media both within and outside teaching. This seems to be an appropriate approach, both on the basis of the ongoing digitalisation of all areas of life and work, and in light of the objective to achieve the learning goal within the scope of 300 teaching units. The article highlights the requirements that digital mobile learning media need to fulfil in order to provide effective support for language acquisition via self-directed learning, including outside the scope of the classroom.
