Merging together subject and linguistic levels in vocational school teaching so that successful learning can take place is a complex task. As part of teacher training in North-Rhine-Westphalia, a new focus has been applied to raising awareness of linguistic aspects for some years. The article looks at the question of whether the impact of school-based practice is already evident. The teachers’ perception of linguistic difficulties in the classroom and how they respond to these is examined.
