Integration course for people with low literacy skills
With us step by step to language and participation

What is an integration course for people with low literacy skills?

This course is aimed at people with very poor reading and writing skills – so-called functional illiterates or people with low literacy levels. Many participants have hardly any written language skills in their native language or are unaccustomed to writing and learning. The course combines literacy with learning German and is specially tailored to the needs of this target group.

The BAMF has developed its own course concept for this purpose, which provides for a slow progression, practical content and participant-oriented methods.

The aim is to combine literacy and learning German in order to enable participation in social life and access to the labor market.

I had a very positive experience at IEC Wuppertal and would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn German and integrate into life in Germany. From the very first day of registration, I felt welcomed. The lady in the office was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. She explained everything clearly and made the registration process easy and comfortable. Before starting the course, I completed a placement test, which determined the appropriate level for me. Based on my results, I joined the course at A2 level. This ensured that I could continue learning at the level that best matched my language skills. During my studies, I was fortunate to have Mr. Falk and Mr. Lugar as my teachers. Both are highly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. They understand the challenges that foreign students face when learning German and always explained topics in a clear and practical way. Their teaching methods helped me improve my German significantly. The course was not only focused on the German language but also on German culture, society, and everyday life. I learned a great deal about Germany and gained valuable knowledge that helps me in my daily life here. After completing the B1 course, I attended the Orientation Course, where we learned about German history, the legal system, and democratic values. As someone who is very interested in history, I found this part especially fascinating and informative. The facilities at IEC Wuppertal are also very good. The classrooms are spacious and comfortable for learning. There is a small kitchen equipped with a coffee machine, microwave, and cooking facilities where students can prepare coffee or warm up their food. The school also offers childcare services for student mothers with young children, which is a great support for families. Separate restroom facilities are available for male and female students as well. Another highlight was the excursions organized during the course. These trips were interesting, educational, and gave us the opportunity to experience German culture outside the classroom. Overall, my experience at IEC Wuppertal was excellent. I successfully completed my B1 course with very good results, improved my German language skills, and learned a lot about German culture, history, and society. I am very grateful to the teachers and staff for their support and dedication. I highly recommend IEC Wuppertal to all foreigners who want to learn German and integrate successfully into Germany. Thank you very much to the entire IEC team! ❤️
