Language Learning Consultation PAULLA

In order to make your start in independent language learning easier, the Division of Foreign Languages offers an individual language learning consultation service.

Here, you can take a language placement test to see how advanced you already are, agree on fixed learning aims and content in the appropriate language, and choose from a number of learning methods and strategies, cumulating in evaluation of your learning success. If you regularly participate in individual learning consultation, you can use our platform for autonomous language learning and learning consultation (PAULLA).

PAULLA offers you not only learning materials as well as links to further learning platforms, publishing sites, podcasts, etc., but also tips and hints that support you in acquiring language learning strategies: How to infer word meanings from context, hypothesize about the content of a text, keep a vocabulary card index, or create associograms on a topic? You can work on these and other language learning strategies in a self-directed way with the help of PAULLA.
