Features: At the beginning of the new century, Germany introduced its own "TOEFL" exam—the TestDaF. The full name of TestDaF in German is Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache, which translates to "German as a Foreign Language Test," abbreviated as TestDaF (DaF Exam). TestDaF is the pathway for foreigners to obtain the language certificate required for studying at German universities. It will hold equal validity to Germany's existing "University Entrance German Language Test" (DSH Exam) for a certain period. Check the accompanying audio tapes. This book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the general outline, objectives, and background of the TestDaF exam introduced by Germany for foreign students in the 21st century, as well as its components, score levels, and evaluation criteria. The second part offers a detailed introduction to the overall structure of the TestDaF sample exam and the types of questions in each component. The third part consists of three mock tests drafted according to the standards of the TestDaF exam, accompanied by answers and listening passages. All spoken expressions and listening comprehension sections are equipped with audio tapes narrated by German language experts. The target audience of this book includes Chinese students preparing to study in Germany via the TestDaF exam, teachers conducting TestDaF language training classes, and all researchers interested in the TestDaF exam methodology.
