Overview
Every semester, English courses are offered during the lecture period, namely
- with 2 x 90 minutes per week (typically one in-person meeting and one moodle assignment per week),
- for a duration of 12 weeks, and
- for the CEFR target levels B 1 - C 1.
The individual course levels in the course system for English are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Target Level | Module | Number of modules to be completed |
---|---|---|
B 2 | General English | B 2.1, B 2.2, B 2.3 in any order |
C 1 | General English | C 1.1, C 1.2, C 1.3 in any order |
In addition, further skill-oriented courses are offered, e.g. to refresh grammar knowledge or to improve oral or written communication skills.
Exams
All General English courses usually end with an exam in which listening comprehension and reading comprehension are tested and assessed. Oral communication skills are graded according to classroom performance. Grades for writing courses are usually based on continuous assessment.
