peer agreement (net): +3specialist subject knowledge in a foreign language Explanation: specialist knowledge in a bilingual/multilingual setting or something along those lines After some googling, it seems that Sachfachkompetenz is only used in foreign language contexts (teaching, learning, translating etc). I have a feeling it refers to both: having language expertise and specialist subject knowledge – one would be Sach, the other Fach (not sure which is which though) See also: http://homepages.ecos.net/~kopernikus/hauptteil_biling.html |
