Objectives
The course is aimed to prepare students studying engineering in German for their studies in Germany. Depending on the academic programmes and language proficiency needs, courses are launched at various levels. The exam prepa-ration course helps students to prepare for the TestDaF language exam required for completing accredited terms at the Karlsruher Institute of Technology. The second course is aimed to improve speaking skills and grammatical cor-rectness, while the third course focuses on verbal skills, as well as practising the grammatical structures that are in-dispensable for comprehension and text production.
