General Integration Course
With this language course, you will be on the road to success right from the start!
The complete integration course consists of three parts: the basic course, the advanced course and the orientation course. A total of 700 hours of lessons take place in seven modules. Each participant first takes a 30-minute placement test so that they can be placed in the right module for them.
Contents
The content of the integration course is broadly defined by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees:
The basic course (3 months) offers an introduction to the basic elements of the German language: knowledge of nouns, verbs and simple sentence constructions are taught. The linguistic mastery of standard situations is practiced. In addition to grammar, dictation and text exercises, the main focus is on the practical use of the German language (primarily in the present and perfect tenses).
The advanced course (3 months) deepens and expands the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired in the basic course. The sentences become more complex, the arguments more well-founded and the practical use of the German language is specifically promoted in timed dialog and group exercises.
Finally, the orientation course (1 month) provides comprehensive knowledge of politics, culture and current affairs in Germany.
Duration
The complete integration course (seven modules) lasts 7 months. The only major interruption to the language course is the Christmas vacation (two weeks). As a rule, lessons are held from Monday to Friday from 8.00 am to 12.15 pm. Or in the afternoons from 1.00 pm to 5.15 pm
