Online Placement Test for English HaF courses
To attend English classes, students must take an obligatory online placement test before the beginning of the semester. This helps us to place students in the correct level. The online placement test evaluates grammar, reading, listening and vocabulary. The online placement test must be completed before FlexNow registration closes. Students who do not take the test may not be able to attend English courses this semester.

Please don’t forget to bring a set of headphones with you!

Description of the Placement Test
The online placement test has 12 parts. The first part has 27 questions. The second part contains seven questions, the third part five etc. The questions slowly become harder in the later parts of the test. There are a total of 100 questions in the test. The time limit for the placement test is 60 minutes but students can submit the test earlier if they have finished. Students can return to any part of the test to check their answers at any point before they submit their test.

Test Results
No certificate will be issued for the completion of a placement test. The test cannot be “passed” or “failed”. Instead, after the evaluation of the test, you will receive an email with a score out of 100 and your CEFR level (B1, B2 etc.). When you have the confirmation of your CEFR level, you can register for a course at the correct level.

If you have taken a course, you will not have to take a placement test again.

Results of the test are valid for four semesters.

Additionally, students should register in FlexNow under Englisch: Online Placement Test HaF for one of the following test dates :

1) 05.10.2015 16:00-18:00 WE5/04.014
2) 06.10.2015 10:00-12:00 WE5/04.014
3) 12.10.2015 18:00-20:00 WE5/04.014
4) 19.10.2015 18:00-20:00 WE5/04.014

Inhalt
This course is suitable for students from all faculties who need to use English in their studies. This course seeks to develop students’ reading skills, to help them become more efficient, critical readers in English, speaking skills for seminar participation and presentations, and listening skills for lectures. There will be some aspects of writing covered, such as how to create good sentences, how to paraphrase and how to write in a suitable style, however those who wish to focus on writing might instead wish to consider the specific writing courses offered by the language centre. We will of course be covering useful academic vocabulary and grammar, which students will have the chance to use in class in discussions and group work.

Information about sources will be given in the first class. Handouts and scripts can be found on the Virtueller Campus; the password will be given in the first class. Your final grade will be calculated from a mid-term exam and a final in-class exam in week 14.

Empfohlene Literatur
Students should purchase the following book by the second week of the course:

Cambridge Academic English Upper Intermediate Student’s Book
ISBN 9780521165204


Students are not expected to buy the accompanying cd or dvd packs.
