Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located near the Dortmund West motorway interchange, where the Sauerland line (A45) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg (B1/A40). The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, while the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The “Dortmund Universität” S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S1 suburban train runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and, in the opposite direction, to Düsseldorf Central Station via Bochum, Essen, and Duisburg.

The university can also be reached by bus lines 445, 447, and 462. Timetable information is available on the website of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association (VRR), and DSW21 also provides an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System)

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on Campus Nord. One ("Dortmund Universität S") is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the "Technologiepark" and (via Campus Süd) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at Campus Nord and offers a direct connection to Campus Süd every five minutes.

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

Map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

Language diagnostics of multilingual children - validation of a test battery

BMBF funding "Validation of the technological and social innovation potential of scientific research - VIP+"

(funding reference: 03VP11464)

Duration: 01.10.2023 - 30.9.2026

Dortmund team

The SPEAK joint project aims to standardize and validate a test battery for multilingual children aged four to eight years ('TEBIK 4-8'). The procedure is based on four individual scales for recording phonology, vocabulary, morphosyntax and narration and the standardized parent questionnaire from the international project COST IS0804.

Das Dortmunder SPEAK-Team im Februar 2024 (vorne v.l.: Marie Willenbrink, Jonna Johanning, Lilli Brokinkel, Viviane Wanczura; hinten v.l.: Prof. Dr. Anna-Lena Scherger, Jenny Thillmann, Tina Ghaemi. Es fehlen: Paul Bauten und Kristina Nagel)

The standardization is intended to systematically take into account the different acquisition biographies of multilingual children. The aim is to provide educational, language therapy and medical professionals with an open-access procedure that enables them to reliably differentiate between acquisition with and without language impairment in bilingual children aged four to eight.

The SPEAK-Grammar sub-project is being carried out at TU Dortmund University under the direction of Prof. Dr. Anna-Lena Scherger. In cooperation with Dr. Lina Abed Ibrahim and Prof. Dr. Cornelia Hamann, the German version of the Sentence-Repetition Task (LITMUS-SRT) is being standardized for multilingual children with different acquisition biographies.

Coordination of the joint project: Prof. Dr. Natalia Gagarina (ZAS Berlin)
