In the foreign language section of the ISSK, students, doctoral candidates, postdocs, visiting scholars and employees at JGU have the opportunity to attend language courses free of charge during the semester.Please note – The registration times of the ISSK courses differ from the registration phases of the regular JGU semester events. <\/a>Please find specific dates for registration here.<\/a><\/strong>Register to your language course in three steps – we look forward to seeing you!<\/p>\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-anchornavigation><\/div>\n\n

Our language courses are divided into different levels according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), and some have specific focuses (e.g. professional and academic English). You can find more details and the registration function in JOGU-StINe<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the language, our range of courses includes elementary (A1 and A2), independent (B1 and B2) and proficient (C1) language use. Courses are not always available in all languages and at all levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Most courses are designed so that one level can be completed in one semester. Some language courses complete levels B1 and higher in two (ideally consecutive) semesters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              These courses are aimed at participants who would like to improve their language proficiency during the semester break (March or September) and comprise a total of 40 to 48 lessons. The courses offered in September can be found in Jogustine under the summer semester. The courses in March appear under the winter semester.

              We offer a range of language courses with different language levels. In order for us to find the appropriate course for you, we need you to provide us with proof of your language level. There are various options to do this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n

              Choose an A1 course from our range in Jogustine. You do not need a certificate or a placement test for this course. We do not offer any A1 courses in English. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n

              Access to the courses is possible for continuing students who have already attended and passed courses at the ISSK in the last two semesters. Submitting a proof or certificate is not required as we can retrieve your results at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n

              If you have a recognized certificate not older than three years, please forward the certificate by e-mail, stating your course request:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              All prospective course participants who have language proficiency in the offered spokespersons, but cannot prove this either through a recognized language certificate or through a completed course at the ISSK, must take part in our placement test. This takes place in digital form approximately one month before the beginning of the lecture period. (Dates for the placement test<\/a>) This is a so-called C-test, which consists of 4 texts with gaps that you have to fill in analogously. Registration in the placement test is not necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              The result of the placement test shows the level of the course for which you may register in the following semester (e.g. test result A2 – registration for course A2).
