230291 Language Proficiency Test I (MDP) (SoSe 2021)

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 can be taken as often as you like, but there is little point in retaking it to improve marks, as the improvement has to be considerable for it to influence your overall grade for your BA.

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.

Teilnahmevoraussetzungen, notwendige Vorkenntnisse

All the BM1 seminars (ACCR, Grammar & Usage, Writing and RPS) have to have been completed before you take the LPT. If you take 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.

Please do NOT sign up for the LPT until Mr Rozema and I have sent an email to all students of English inviting them to do so.
