Syllabus

What you study

Everything the course covers, grouped. The order and the weight of each part are adjusted after each student's entry test.

How we teach

The six steps behind every Wobridge course

These six steps apply to every course we run, on every programme. What changes from course to course is how much weight each step carries — noted directly under the list.

  1. Entry assessment

    A test across all four skills before placement, so we know where a student stands and what is missing.

  2. Learning path

    The target broken into stages with checkpoints, rather than a single number waiting at the end of the course.

  3. Practice

    Every lesson includes work done in class; theory never occupies a lesson on its own.

  4. Feedback

    Writing and speaking marked against the assessment criteria of the exam being prepared, with each fault attached to a named criterion.

  5. Progress tracking

    Results are recorded skill by skill through the course, so it is visible which part is moving and which is not.

  6. Mock test

    A paper sat in the real format and to the real timings, then talked through afterwards.

On this course. The move is from everyday German to a professional register: every topic comes with an authentic text and an argumentative piece marked against the exam criteria.
