Summary
Upon arrival at the school, engineering students take a test to determine their level, which is used to divide them into two groups, including a refresher group. From semester 7 onwards, they are generally put into a single group at a high but very disparate level, which requires a teaching method that can constantly adapt. Regardless the students' level, the main aim of the courses is to make students operational: develop self-confidence, favour a pragmatic approach, and communicate easily. In addition to continuing German in a group at a high level, the chemical engineering programme offers students not studying German the chance to start German in semester 5 as a "new second language" in order to allow them to seize many opportunities (internships/exchanges/employment). After two years of studies, a study abroad trip to Leverkusen and Cologne is organised at the end of semester 6, and, for some, an internship is carried out in a German-speaking country. Students are strongly encouraged and prepared to validate their level with an official certification (A2).
Educational goals
For advanced levels (B1/B2/C1): - Become (more) operational in the five skills of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression, oral interaction), but especially in oral interaction and expression. - Develop the ability to integrate into a professional environment, with the thematic focus of semester 9 placed on subjects related to the chemistry electives chosen by students (materials/formulation/environmental chemistry). - Intercultural openness. - Acquire more scientific and technical German vocabulary in the field of chemistry. - Continuation of personalised assistance in finding an internship via individual meetings. For level A2: - Consolidate level A2/2 in the five skills of the Common European Framework of Reference, favouring oral interaction and expression. - Prepare for the various official certification tests (level A2) offered at the end of semester 9. - Acquire more practical knowledge about daily and professional life in German-speaking countries. - The vocabulary used in chemistry laboratories is briefly covered.

Knowledge control procedures
Continuous Assessment
Comments: A written exam (written and oral comprehension, written expression), an oral exam (continuous expression and interaction) and/or (depending on the health situation) written and oral continuous assessments.
