Language Courses
Our English Courses
- The language courses take place in groups of up to 12 and are taught by native speakers.
-
The group and trainer agree on specific objectives and content at the beginning of the course to ensure the training supports you in using English in your everyday work. Your work and project documents can also be included in the lessons.
-
You will improve your communication through different activities such as role playing and discussions, simulating realistic situations from your work.
-
You will will learn strategies for developing and using the specific technical vocabulary you need and get tips for working in an intercultural academic environment.
-
You will be supported by Linguarama Connect, Linguarama's online language learning program that specializes in business language. You have access to this learning program both during your training and 12 months after the end of your course.
-
After a successful participation in the course (i.e. attendance rate of at least 80%) you will receive a partecipation certificate which will be recognized as a part of SprInt certificate.
Duration:
Each course consists of 20 teaching units, each session usually comprises two teaching units of 45 minutes. Course start date is expected to be calendar week 47 (starting 11/21/2022).
Registration and placement test:
Registration for English courses during the winter term is now closed. We would like to inform you that the courses in the winter semstern 2022/2023 will again take place in the form of a virtual event.
After registering, you will take a placement test (comprising written and oral components). If you have already taken a placement test because you registered for a course last semester, you do not need to take a new placement test. Once the test has been completed, groups at similar language levels will be formed.
You will then be notified of the course date and receive the link to attend. If you included any additional comments on your registration form, e.g. regarding course topic or course date, these will be taken into account to the extent possible. However, the composition of the groups and your previous knowledge have priority for the creation of an effective English course.
Absences:
Successful completion of the language course requires an attendance of at least 80%. If you are unable to attend, please inform the trainer directly. If your attendance rate in the language course is below 50% and you have not informed the trainer, an attendance restriction of six months will come into effect and you will be unable to participate in our events during this period.

In compliance with SprInt’s data protection regulations, your personal data will be transferred to the external course provider linguarama, who then take over the rest of the organization. Your data will be used exclusively for the purposes of organizing the language courses and will not be transferred to third parties.
