Who we are The audiovisual language institute was founded in 1965 and is one of the
leading language schools in the area. We are a language school for adults,
which is specialized in teaching the German language to foreign language
speakers.
We teach German to people used to an academic environment as well as
those not used to it on all levels and enable the participants to acquire
writ- ten and spoken language skills that are needed for professional and
every- day life. Furthermore, we offer English, French, Spanish and Italian
courses. The AVS is an independent institute that is run under the private
sector and is open to people of all backgrounds, independent of religious
and political beliefs. We are in close collaboration with the canton, the
community and social institutions in order to achieve an efficient and
successful integration of people speaking a foreign language.
Offers The range of services we offer includes class- and private lessons as well
as language training and further education for companies and institutions.
It can be held both internally at our school and externally at compa-nies.
There are courses aimed at learning languages as well as courses,
that strengthen, broaden or improve language skills. The offer addresses to
adults at all levels from beginners to advanced stages with a general
learning program or a more specialized area of focus, as well as for the
preparation for internationally recognized, official diplomas.
Our learning content and goals Our teachers are highly qualified and teach in their own mother tongue. We
teach our participants oral and written language skills that can be applied
to everyday life as well as for professional life. We consider cultural aspects
so that the students can be integrated successfully. All our courses assume
an active participation and regular attendance.

Objectives The AVS language institute offers a qualified, individual consultation, a
positive learning environment as well as an optimal framework for learn-
ing a language and establishing language skills for everyday life and
working life. This is achieved by using a well balanced, goal oriented and
practice oriented teaching program. The classes should play a vital role in
the integration process. Concept The courses offered and the teaching programs are well adapted to the
needs and interests of our target audience. The learning content is taught
by course leaders with a high level of professional, personal and social
competence in groups that are graded according to their ability.
Quality We view the quality assurance, team development and the continuous
adaptation to market demands as well as the educational, methodological
and social developments as part of our responsibility.
