German Language Diploma 1 Examinations

Last Wednesday, 10 IGS students sat the written exam for the German Language Diploma Level 1 (DSD 1) in the skills of listening and reading comprehension and written communication. For the fifth year in a row, middle school students demonstrated that their language skills are at a B1 (CEFR) or higher.
For many of these learners, the Language Diploma from the Conference of Ministers of Education is the first official exam they take. However, they managed the excitement very well! Now they are busily preparing for the speaking exam, which will take place in two weeks time.
The DSD I is the preliminary stage to the DSD II (B2/C1 CEFR), which IGS students take in Class 11 and is accepted as proof of language proficiency for universities in Germany.
