230542 Language Proficiency Test I (MDP) (SuSe 2023) (MDP) (SoSe 2023)

Contents, comment

This is the module exam for BM1. It can be taken at any point, provided you have participated in the BM1 seminars. You do NOT have to take it as soon as you have finished BM1, and if you feel you need to work at your language skills more before taking it, please do that.
The LPT has two components, which are technically two separate exams: the 60-minute written paper (Grammar and Usage plus a mediation task consisting of an English summary of a German text), and an interview (oral presentation of an argument or question, with a followup conversation with two examiners, taking in total around eight or nine minutes). The written and interview components do not have to be taken on or around the same date or even in the same semester. If you fail one component, you do not have to repeat both exams. Both components are offered twice each semester. You can take part in either the first or the second LPT in any given semester; you do not have to have taken part in the first one to participate in the second one.

About a fortnight before each LPT, we send an email to all students of English inviting them to sign up for it, if they have not already done so. Once this sign-up deadline has passed, we contact the candidates via the ekvv mailing list with detailed instructions on signing up for the interview (or the "no interview" group). We also publish a LernraumPlus with a wealth of useful resources, including FAQs, a sample test, the latest version of Auntie Alligator's List of Don'ts and the assessment sheets used by the examiners.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.

All the BM1 seminars (ACCR, Grammar & Usage, Writing and RPS in the old FSB OR Speaking & Communication, Grammar & Usage, Argumentation & Critical Reading and Writing & Research in the new ones) have to have been completed before you take the LPT. If you have taken one or more of these seminars in the semester that you take the LPT but your Studienleistung has not yet been entered, you can still take the LPT.
The LPT can be taken as often as you like, but there is little point in taking it to improve marks, as the improvement has to be considerable for it to influence your overall grade for your BA.

In the FSB of 2023, it will be a requirement to pass the LPT to take seminars in the profile modules.
