This course, adapted to your level and your goals, aims to give you confidence in your ability to communicate in the language. It is ideal for people who want to improve their English but either:

1. don't have time to attend a regular class or
2. have specific learning requirements which may not be met in a group-based course.

This course adapts to suit you. The focus can be on improving writing skills, dealing with grammar or developing your fluency in speaking.

Registration by February 21, 2024. After this date you will be contacted to set up your first appointment at which you will agree on an individual program based on your requirements. Then meetings will take place either face-to-face at an agreed location or online, or a mixture of both. A total of 4 academic hours are available for each participant.

If you would like to do this course together with a colleague, please indicate this on your registration. In such an arrangement, participants must be at or near the same language level and have similar learning goals (speaking, presenting, etc.). In order for this to work, participants must arrange their own partnerships, as student pairing is not carried out by the language department.

Total possible duration of the course: ca. 3 months (meetings take place between Feb. 21 and May 31, 2024).

To participate in this course, you must be a member of KHYS. If you are a doctoral researcher but not a member of KHYS yet, you can register here: https://www.khys.kit.edu/english/registration_with_khys.php
