Language
Courses "German as a second language"
Paragraphs 43 - 45 of the Residence Act
(Aufenthaltsgesetz) state: "The aim of the integration course is to
successfully teach foreigners the language, the legal system, the culture
and the history of Germany. Foreigners should become so familiar with the
lifestyle in Germany that they can independently cope with all areas of
daily life without the help or intervention of third parties.”"
The integration course is made up of two parts: a language course and an
orientation course. In the language course, German as a Second Language is
taught. The orientation course looks closely at the legal system, culture
and history. In total, the integration course normally lasts 645 teaching
hours. Full-time and part-time courses are available.

all levels and concuts all tests.

Zuwanderer) and a test on the Orientation Course.
