Starting from the theoretical concept of intertextuality (Janich 2008), this study deals with the possibilities of teaching intertextuality in first-language education. The problem of intertextuality has recently become more and more present in the content objectives of first-language education. When investigating the available curricula, it was observed that this question within the frame of first-language education has been less elaborated and only a few recent grammar books pay attention to the teaching possibilities of intertextuality. The aim of this study is to present a complex series of exercises that can be used in versatile ways in first-language education. The work sheet facilitates the testing and development of students’ intertextual knowledge, regarding non-literary texts. It shows that intertextual knowledge plays an important role in the process of text comprehension also in case of everyday texts.
