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 is a course designed for students from all faculties who have to write academic texts in English. We will examine the following types of texts in terms of their structures and functions

• Discussion essay
• Comment
• Analysis of trends (working with statistics and tables)
• Report
• Rationale

The course will develop writing skills, beginning with writing good sentences before moving onto writing paragraphs and finally planning short essays. In addition, through guided exercises, we will discuss how to edit our writing to make it more accurate.

A portfolio of written tasks (worth 50% of the final mark) and a final examination (worth 50% of the final mark) comprise the components of the evaluation for the class.
