New ÖSD examination centre: vielfalt
vielfalt – Bildungs- & Betreuungs GmbH is regarded as an outstanding institution in the field…
This project, which has been presented in various schools since December 2023, aims to promote students learning German as a foreign language through the internationally recognised ÖSD German examinations. The first round of exams took place in May 2024 and was a great success.
The exams were taken by students aged 10 to 15 years old, who were selected according to the CEFR and ÖSD age recommendations. They came from various partner schools in Cairo, New Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh to take an international German exam directly at the ÖSD examination centre.
Before the exam, some of the children were in an anxious mood, reports Dr Mai Hassan, Head of the DSK International Academy. A friendly welcome and a relaxed atmosphere in the waiting room with juice, water and snacks helped to reduce the children’s nervousness and exam anxiety.
After the exam, the mood was much more relaxed, reports Dr Mai Hassan. The children were happy, took photos and videos and were delighted with their achievements.
The ÖSD certificates offer young students numerous advantages:
The KID exams of the ÖSD are offered by the DSK International Academy on a monthly basis. This is a great opportunity for international schools in Egypt, especially in Cairo and the surrounding areas, to find suitable dates. As part of the ‘ÖSD School Project’, the ÖSD German exams are held at the examination centre. Suitable facilities, qualified invigilators and security checks ensure that the exams run smoothly.
The successful realisation of the German exams shows how important such projects are for the promotion of language skills and the expansion of students’ future prospects. The DSK International Academy is looking forward to further rounds of exams and the continued support of children and young people on their journey with the German language.
