Für eine erfolgreiche Integration in das deutsche Bildungssystem benötigen neuzugewanderte Kinder und Jugendliche eine gezielte Förderung in Deutsch als Zweitsprache. In vielen Schulformen werden hierfür separate Klassen eingerichtet, die einen Übergang der Lernenden in den Regelunterricht vorbereiten und begleiten.
