DSH preparatory courses:
In our DSH preparatory courses we are using the recently published course book “Fit für die DSH”, which was issued by Prof. Dr. Heringer / Dr. Bisle-Müller. Dr. Bisle-Müller who is teaching at the Augsburg University language centre has been a DSH examiner for many years

These courses provide intensive preparation for the German Language Examination at the University of Augsburg. The course deals with all the parts of the exam (comprehension and written tasks based on a listening text, comprehension and written tasks based on a reading text, controlled text production and comprehension and written tasks based on linguistic structures). Writing skills play the biggest part in these exercises, as they are not only important for the controlled text production, but also for the tasks based on the listening text and the tasks based on linguistic structures. However, all the relevant skills needed to pass the different parts of the exam and complete the various tasks are, of course, taught and practised in our preparatory courses. Weekly mock exams remove the students' nervousness about the DSH and provide a regular progress check. The above-average success rate of our students speaks for itself. www.sz.uni-augsburg.de/dsh.htm
