3-Week Course | Compact Language Courses are offered in March and September of each academic year, with the view to support new incoming students. However, if places are available, full-time students and staff members of the Weimar universities can also enroll in the courses.
Course duration and class times | Teaching formats
The courses last three weeks and comprise a total of approximately 60 hours. The face-to-face teaching takes place between 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., but in some cases also in the afternoon from 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. In addition, compulsory assignments and self-study opportunities are provided via the university's learning platform Moodle.
All courses conclude with an examination on their last day. This exam includes a listening comprehension and reading comprehension task; written communication skills are tested and assessed. At levels A1 and A2, the exam also includes grammar tasks. Oral communication skills are graded, based on classroom performance.
