Summer 2021 brings innovations to the SprInt program: the component „Language Competence“ is about to be complemented by two new learning methods. In the future, alongside the popular English courses, it will be possible to learn English with a language learning app or to apply for individual English coachings. The goal of this extension is to allow the participants more flexibility and diversity regarding language acquisition. At the same time, the application of new methods supports the concept that each learner is different and that each person learns at a different speed. What possibilities do these new SprInt methods offer?

With the help of a language learning app, participants can learn and practice English at a time and place of their liking. Thanks to the around-the-clock access, exercises offering a variable duration and the choice of medium (computer and/or smartphone) - the language learning app guarantees maximum flexibility and allows the user to personalize their study plan when it comes to time and dedication. In addition, the exchange with other learners – a very significant part of a regular language course – should still be guaranteed:

Within the online community that is integrated into the app, both language students and native speakers can network with each other worldwide and benefit from the improvement of their oral skills and intercultural competence.

The new individual coaching does not fall short. This form of language training promotes face-to-face English practice and the improvement of English communication skills with one precise aim: it is available to everyone who wants to concentrate on one chosen subject without the need to enroll on a whole language course. It can help with the preparation of a presentation or of a coming negotiation with a group of foreign university partners, or can serve as an intense speaking training to overcome any inhibitions. To begin with, 6 teaching units (1 unit = 45 minutes) are scheduled for this focused offer and they can be individually arranged with the teacher when it comes to time.
