Placement Test for English HaF courses
To attend English classes, students must take an obligatory placement test before the beginning of the semester. This helps us to place students in the correct level. The placement test evaluates grammar, reading, listening and vocabulary, and 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
There are a total of 100 questions in the test. The questions slowly become harder in the later parts of 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, the results will be posted on the following day in the Language Center and on the Language Center website 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 in general English, you do 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: HaF Placement Test for one of the following test dates:

1) Monday, 04.04.2016 14:00-16:00 hrs, WE5/04.014
2) Wednesday, 06.04.2016 10:00-12:00 hrs, WE5/02.005
3) Monday, 11.04.2016 16:00-18:00 hrs, WE5/04.014
4) Monday, 18.04.2016 10:00-12:00 hrs, 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:
• Compare and contrast essay
• Cause and effect essay
• Persuasive essay

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.
