German for Young Peopleand Adults

Norbert Güthling, President Lennart Güthling, Managing Director

Dear friends throughout the world,

Our 2017 anniversary marked the first time that we have been privileged to welcome over 1,200 students to the Humboldt-Institut’s17 program sites. In its first season, the new Kempten summer course was fully booked with highly satisfied students—a positive development that was mirrored by a sharp increase in students over the course of the year. Who would have thought that pos-sible 40 years ago, when our German courses began with one student at Ratzenried Castle, our only site at the time?

Let us take this moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, our students, friends and supporters, for the role you have played in our success story.

We are proud of this positive development and look to the future with tremendous optimism. After all, even while celebrating its anniversary, the Humboldt Institute continues to invest not only in improving the quality of instruction, but also in important infrastructure, so that students’ stays with us are as pleasant as possible. In Lindenberg, for instance, each room now has its own bathroom facilities with a shower and toilet.

Our redesigned website (www.humboldt-institut.org) provides an overview of all of our program sites and offerings in a format that is attractive on PCs, tablets and smartphones alike, making it easier to find the right course for you. Be sure to check it out!

A new addition to our series of school preparatory courses is the “Prep Year for Upper-Level Students” program, which will be operated in collaboration with the Schloss Bieberstein school. The program prepares students for the upper-level academic track at Bieberstein (pp. 52-53). Also, the “Attend School in Germany” program continues to enjoy increasing demand, as evidenced by the growing numbers of students who have enrolled in the Lindenberg college preparatory program and who have found a second home at the Humboldt boarding school.

We wish you a happy and successful 2018 and look forward to welcoming you to one of our Humboldt Institute programs—hopefully soon!

Yours,Yours,

Norbert Güthling Lennart GüthlingNorbert Güthling Lennart Güthling

Examinations

Students at the Humboldt-Institut can complete internationally recognized, standardized exams at all levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The following overview shows the exams along with the language level certification students will obtain if they pass a given exam:

telc Examinationstelc GmbH (The European Language Certifi-cates) is an internationally recognized test provider. Language certificates offered by telc are geared towards the Common Euro-pean Framework of Reference for Languages, making them internationally comparable and improving students’ educational and professional opportunities.

telc Deutsch A1 - C1These general language exams let you show how well you have mastered the German language in daily situations, such as trips, leisure activities or at work. Each exam con-sists of a written individual test as well as an oral exam conducted with another student or in a group.

telc Deutsch A1 JuniorThe child-friendly format of this exam is geared towards our youngest learners. The test does not take long to complete, which, along with its use of pictures and its simple and easy-to-understand tasks, tailors it to the cognitive abilities of children.

telc Deutsch A2 and B1 Schule Since their format corresponds to that of general language exams, these exams for secondary school students are equivalent to the more general exams. The telc Deutsch

Registration deadlineRegistration deadline: 23 days before the test date. Later regis-trations will only be accepted upon agree-ment and for an additional fee.

Tests will take approx. 5 weeks to correct.

TestASThe TestAS (test for foreign students) is a centralized, standardized test that assesses the aptitude of foreign students for uni-versity studies. For interested students from abroad, the TestAS result provides information on how they compare to other applicants and increases the chance for admission to a German university. Exam dates and the registration form can be found on www.testas.de.

TestDaF(“Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache”)The TestDaF exam demonstrates that a candidate has sufficient German skills for admission to a German university if he or she earns the minimum TestDaF level of 4 in each of the four exam sections. As a standardized exam for meeting university language requirements, the TestDaF is the equivalent of the DSH exam, while offering numerous other advantages: Students may take the exam as many times as they wish and, thanks to the uniformity of the exam, they can target specific areas as they prepare (see TestDaF Preparatory Courses). The TestDaF also provides evidence of language ability for anyone who wants to do research in Germany or who wants to document high language skills.

Schule exams, however, also cover subject matters geared specifically to young peo-ple’s life and to what they know, i. e., their leisure time, their friends, what they do for fun, and what it’s like to live in another country. A telc exam also allows young people to demonstrate their commitment, interest and determination.

telc Deutsch C1 HochschuleThis exam is geared towards adults who would like to demonstrate their German language skills because they wish to begin studying, are already studying or hope to work in an academic field at a German university. This exam tests advanced German skills needed at university level.

Humboldt students with no prior know-ledge of German would need roughly 8 months to reach the required level of language skills. For those participants who have completed level C1.1, we strongly recommend our special, four-week TestDaF preparatory course, which builds upon their language skills. The Humboldt-Institut has licensed testing centers in Constance and Berlin.

Experience two citiesWith the combination of courses in Berlin and Constance our learners have the incom-parable opportunity to experience two uniquely distinct university towns which demon-strate the diversity of Germany in landscape and in culture. Berlin—Germany’s capital and by far largest city—impresses with more than 3.5 million inhabitants and an incredible variety of sights and cultural offers. Constance, however, seems to be unhurried and laid-back with only 85,000 inhabitants, while it is rated as one of Germany’s towns with the highest quality of life due to its gorgeous location right next to Lake Constance and its proximity to Switzerland and the Alps. With our combination offer you can sample and immerse yourself into these two cities in two very different regions of Germany within only a short time.

The PlaceSituated on a hill overlooking the historic town of Bad Laasphe, Wittgenstein Castle is our program site for our youngest students. The town is located some 120 km east of Cologne and surrounded by an idyllic landscape, with the Lahn River winding its way past the half-timbered houses in the historic center of town.Our school is located in the famous Wittgenstein Castle, which includes both historical and modern buildings and offers a wide range of opportunities for sports and recreational activities. One special feature of this center is that the school has its own stables and offers an optional riding course.

We are pleased to o� er a German course that you can take at the same location as your child. Held in the mornings, your class will be separate from the children‘s classes, as the course contents will be di� erent: children‘s courses aim to improve all of the language skills your child will need later on when taking German classes at home; the objective for parents, however, is to teach practical German that will be useful for everyday life. Course o� erings cover levels A1 through A2. While you will be housed separately from the children (in private rooms in the castle) and participate, in some cases, in separate recreational activities, weekend excursions will be o� ered for parents and children together.

The ConceptGoing to school and living abroad for a period of time fosters adolescents’ develop-ment and ensures a successful future for them in a job market that is becoming more and more international—studying in Germany would enhance any resume. Our “Going to school in Germany“ program is geared towards highly motivated students between ten and seventeen years of age, and offers them the chance to participate in regular classes in German boarding schools. Upon successfully com-pleting the leaving exams of a German pleting the leaving exams of a German college preparatory program (the Abitur), students here will qualify for admission to a German university.

PrerequisitesBesides having to demonstrate generally above average academic performance, foreign candidates must also have

sufficient knowledge of the German lan-guage to be admitted to a German school. This is why they are asked first of all to attend an intensive German language course for several months at our language center in Bad Schussenried (see page 20) or in Lindenberg (see page 22). Having completed level B2, students will be inte-grated into a class at a college preparatory boarding school appropriate to their age and abilities.

Preparatory Courses in Bad SchussenSchussenried and in Lindenbergried and in LindenbergOur schools in Lindenberg and in Bad Schussenried offer our students ideal con ditions to feel at ease and get used to a life in Germany. High-quality courses paired with a small number of students per class assure that students pick up the language quickly and thoroughly.

Secondary Education in Germany

Program ScheduleDepending on their prior skill level, students will need approx. two to six months to reach the required level of German (completion of Humboldt level B2). Afterwards, we offer a 5-week preparatory course (see page 50).

Upon completion of this preparatory course, foreign students can transfer to a German boarding school. The Humboldt-Institut cooperates with highly respected boarding schools throughout Germany and will gladly help students find the right school.school.Program StartJanuary 7, 2018February 11, 2018March 18, 2018April 22, 2018May 27, 2018July 1, 2018August 5, 2018

School Preparatory Course ages 13 -17

The ConceptAfter having successfully completed Hum-boldt level B2, our students will be able to continue their education in Germany at a Gymnasium. Here they can complete their leaving exams (see p. 48 / Secondary Education in Germany), which will qualify them for admission to a German university. In order to ease the transition between the German course and school attendance, we offer a special preparatory course aimed at teaching the terminology and methodol-ogy in the most important subject areas taught in school.

ContentThe school preparatory course is organ-ized into subject area modules such as the natural sciences (mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry) and the humanities (history, politics, geography, religion). The fine arts are covered as well. In addition to acquiring important technical vocabulary, students also learn how to summarize texts, work with sources, perform research and give presentations.

Role-playing simulation games and project work also teach students how to work in group settings.

Prerequisites• Students may only enrol after successfully completing Humboldt level B2

in Bad Schussenried and in Lindenberg

The conceptThe unique feature of the Prep Year for Upper-Level Students program is regular rotation between attending German classes and a regular secondary school, with students alternating between the Humboldt-Institut in Bad Schussenried and the Schloss Bieberstein boarding school. The focus at Bad Schussenried is on German as a foreign language, where-as students participate in regular classes in select subject areas at Bieberstein. Af-ter successfully completing the prep year, students can attend upper-level courses at Schloss Bieberstein.

Language preparation in Bad Schussenried At Bad Schussenried, the Humboldt-Insti-At Bad Schussenried, the Humboldt-Insti-tut offers everything students need to feel at home and become accustomed to life in Germany. In addition to learning the German language within a short period of time through intensive study in very small classes, students also receive the support they need outside of the classroom and become acquainted with life at the board-ing school community.

Preparing for upper-level coursework at BiebersteinBesides continuing to deepen their under-standing of German, students will focus their time at Schloss Bieberstein primarily on applying their new knowledge to reg-

ular coursework (mathematics, athletics, art, the natural sciences, English). Doing so will prepare the students specifically for the demands of the upper-level col-for the demands of the upper-level col-lege preparatory curriculum.

Program scheduleThe program begins with a German course at Bad Schussenried, after which students alternate between Bieberstein and Bad Schussenried at intervals lasting multiple weeks at a time. Transportation between the two schools is included. The prep year ends in July, and by that time students will be expected to have suc-cessfully completed B2.2 level language requirements.

PrerequisitesApplicants for the prep year will need to demonstrate that they have performed

Gymnasium Linden berg

The SchoolThe Lindenberg Gymnasium (grades 5 - 12) offers two distinct educational tracks, one oriented towards language and one towardsthe natural sciences and technology. In addition to pure classroom instruction—instruction that meets the highest profes-sional and pedagogical standards—the school also aims to educate its students to become engaged, tolerant and responsible human beings. Viewed from this perspec-tive, school becomes a place that offers students life experience and helps them shaping their personalities. Students are not only encouraged to perform well and develop their talents—social responsibility, environmental consciousness and respect also play critical roles in the school community.

Academic Facilities and Services• Large spectrum of elective courses and • Large spectrum of elective courses and work groups• Conflict mediation team• Computer rooms and IT training• Library• School cafeteria• Study trips
