Schriftlicher Einstufungstest

Die Lehrgänge der Höheren Fachschule verlangen am Schluss ein Englisch-Diplom auf Stufe B1 (BEC Preliminary, Business Englisch). SIW organisiert den Englischunterricht während des Studiums entsprechend dem Ausgangsniveau der Studierenden. Damit wird sichergestellt, dass die Studierenden weder unter- noch überfordert werden. Zu Beginn des Studiums findet ein Einstufungstest statt, so dass die Bildung der Leistungsgruppen durchgeführt werden kann. Möchtest du jetzt schon wissen, wie dein Englisch eingestuft wird, dann absolviere den nachfolgenden Einstufungstest des «Cornelsen & Oxford Verlags», der sich für alle Lernniveaus von der Grundstufe bis zum Cambridge First Certificate eignet.
