Abstract:
Since more and more foreign students are studying at German universities there is a high demand on adequate courses which assist foreign first year students with everyday situations at a German university- Many classes simply aim at improving the knowledge of German as a foreign language, but students also have to deal with many other difficulties, that are not explicitly caused by language problems. Many students lack the ability of autonomous learning, which is the key for a successful course of studies at a German university. This article gives an overview of a survey which evaluates a new developed concept of course and which aims at improving the practice of courses for foreign students.
