PLACEMENT TEST NECESSARY (DIALANG (A1-C2))
This free online placement test was developed by several European universities and is based on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Please use this placement test for the languages English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.
1. Go to the homepage: DIALANG.
2. Click the arrow icon.
3. Select "Notes in English" or another language and click OK.
4. Read the information about the test on the next three pages.
Do the test on your own.
The parts of the test (listening, writing, reading, grammar and vocabulary) can be taken in any order.
The audios can only be heard once.
The first step is to determine your vocabulary knowledge (this step could be skipped). Based on this first step, the level of the further tasks is adjusted.
Filling out the self-assessment questionnaires is optional, but we recommend it.
5. Plan 1-2 hours for the full test.
IMPORTANT: The results are NOT summarized in a document, so make sure to save a screenshot of your partial test results or to write them down. Bring the result as a printout or scan/screenshot for personal registration.
