If you want to study or look for a job in Karlsruhe, you often have to prove your language skills. Attending a language course is not enough, especially for attending a university; you must prove your knowledge by taking a test. One recognised test is the telc test, for which we prepare you as part of our intensive courses.
telc preparation courses for different levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 & C2
The telc tests are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, and Sprachschule Aktiv in Karlsruhe also bases its courses on these guidelines. There are tests for different levels. For university studies or demanding tasks in business, you need to speak at a B2 level, or better yet, C1. If you pass this test, you prove that you can converse well in German, follow lectures at university and participate in professional discussions. If you are unsure of your current level, you can find a free placement test here!
Our telc intensive courses prepare you for the exam
Exam preparation takes place in our intensive courses. You practise with practice tests directly from telc, so you know exactly what to expect.
The courses are held in small groups so that you have the opportunity to practise the language as often as possible. During the course you will learn how best to solve tasks like those on the test. The instructor will give you valuable tips and show you strategies so that you can complete the tasks effectively and within the time limits.
The structure of the telc examination in Karlsruhe
In order for you to be able to demonstrate your knowledge, the exam will take an appropriately amount of time. You have three and a half hours for the first part, in which you will solve tasks in listening comprehension, written expression and reading comprehension. This is followed by a break of twenty minutes.
The oral examination takes place in the form of a group examination. You will be tested with two or three other participants. You have twenty minutes to prepare before the examination.
Is a telc preparation course worthwhile?
Participation in a preparation course in Karlsruhe is not compulsory, but it does make sense. Experience shows that more than 93 percent of all students with a preparation course pass the test; without a preparation course, only about 56 percent pass.
During the course, you deal with several exam papers and thus get a feel for the exam.
The course is led by experienced teachers
When selecting teachers, we make sure that they are people who already have experience with these examinations. For the most part, they are native speakers who also usually hold a valid examiner’s licence from telc. They have pedagogical training and are friendly and helpful.
