Finding the right level

There are several possibilities for finding out your level in English.

1. Go to our website at
       http://www.sli.uni-freiburg.de/einstufungstests-en

     where you will find descriptors according to the Common European
     Framework (A1 ...C2). These correspond to the entry levels for our
     courses.

2. Phone or come and see me in my office hour for advice. (SLI, Universitätsstr 5, Second Floor)
3. Check out the level of the New Headway books (Advanced/C1, Upper-intermediate/B2, Intermediate/B1/B2, etc.), which are on display at most academic bookshops.

If you had a reasonable pass in the 10^th grade English in a German Gymnasium, your English level should be around B1 (ready to start upper-intermediate). A student with Abitur English should be at B2 (ready to refresh your upper-intermediate level). Or, if you did very well in English in your Abitur, you may be around B2/C1 (ready for an upper-intermediate/advanced course).
