Das Projekt ist das Endergebnis meines M.A. in Design (Entrepreneurship) an der Hochschule der Künste Bern. Meine Forschungen haben gezeigt, dass Neuankömmlinge in der Hochschulbildung auf folgende Schwierigkeiten stoßen:

• • fehlende Sprachkenntnisse in der Unterrichtssprache
  • Sprachkenntnisse für die Hochschulbildung
  • Studien- und akademische Fähigkeiten
  • digitale Kompetenz und Fähigkeiten

Das touqan projekt setzt direkt an diesen Herausforderungen und Schwierigkeiten an, indem es Sprachunterricht anbietet und die für die Hochschulbildung erforderlichen Fähigkeiten ab dem B2-Niveau integriert und bis zum Ende des C1-Niveaus weiter ausbaut.

The project is a result of my M.A. in Design (Entrepreneurship) from the Bern University of the Arts. My research show that Newcomers experience the following difficulties in higher education:

• • lack of proficiency in the language of instruction
  • language skills for higher education
  • study and academic skills
  • digital literacy and skills

The touqan project directly addresses these challenges and difficulties by providing language instruction and integrates the required skills for higher education starting at the B2 level and develops them further until the end of the C1 level.
