Englisch
Supported by native-speaker teachers and experienced language tutors, participants in the English pre-course brush up their grammar skills, develop learning strategies to expand their vocabulary and are introduced to guided self-study (elearning component) at an early stage. First-year students are given the opportunity to self-assess and also receive orientation and an overview of all additional online courses offered by "ZA Fremdsprachen", which they can take in the further course of their studies in order to optimise their performance in English and other foreign languages in accordance with the European Framework of Reference for Languages and thus prepare themselves for their specialist language courses and, if necessary, lectures in English.
The online materials will be offered on the Learning plattform eCampus (ILIAS) and the online seminar will take place from 10 to 13 September 2024.
You will receive further information after your registration in the eCampus (ILIAS).
