The International Language School (ILS) has been operating for around 10 years and is an eduQua-certified language school with locations in Bern, Basel, Zurich, Aarau, and St. Gallen. The organization stands for high-quality language instruction, combining professional learning with a personal and family-like atmosphere. As an \u00d6SD examination centre, it now has ambitious goals for the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Small groups, targeted exam preparation<\/h2>\n

ILS offers language courses in German, French, English, and Spanish<\/strong> \u2014 both in groups (3\u20138 participants) and as individual lessons. The groups are intentionally kept small to ensure individual attention.<\/p>\n

Particularly popular are the intensive German courses at levels A1 to C1<\/strong>. In addition, online courses are available, designed to be just as intensive and interactive as face-to-face instruction.<\/p>\n

The courses are aimed at adults and teenagers<\/strong> who wish to improve their language skills. ILS provides targeted preparation for recognized exams such as \u00d6SD, fide, telc, DELF\/DALF, and Cambridge, using official materials and practice exams.<\/p>\n

A language school for experiential learning<\/h2>\n

A special emphasis at ILS is placed on lively, practice-oriented language learning<\/strong>. Numerous activities \u2014 such as film and game nights, excursions, and brunches \u2014 give learners the opportunity to apply their language skills in real-life contexts and to take an active role in their social integration<\/strong>. By combining formal instruction with real-world language experiences<\/strong>, ILS creates a learning environment that goes far beyond the traditional language course.<\/p>\n

Dedicated teachers with a focus on adult-oriented methodology<\/h2>\n

Each ILS location is centrally situated and easily accessible<\/strong> \u2014 for example, in Bern at Thunstrasse 8. The modern classrooms provide a pleasant and supportive atmosphere for learning. In addition to its high-quality facilities<\/strong>, ILS places great importance on offering an inspiring environment with personal support<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The teaching team consists of qualified, mostly native-speaking instructors who teach with enthusiasm and expertise. Many bring not only linguistic and didactic competence but also intercultural experience<\/strong>, which makes classes particularly dynamic and engaging.<\/p>\n

New chances as an \u00d6SD examination centre<\/h2>\n

Explaining the motivation behind becoming a licensed examination centre for the \u00d6sterreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch (\u00d6SD), ILS Managing Director Ebubekir Kaya<\/strong> says: \u201cOur decision is rooted in our commitment to providing a broad range of internationally recognized exams<\/strong>. \u00d6SD certificates are not only acknowledged in Austria but throughout the entire German-speaking world. They open additional educational and professional opportunities<\/strong> for our participants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, the following \u00d6SD exams can be taken at ILS:<\/h3>\n
