Good morning, ladies and gentlemen
It's the second Sunday again
And instead of a video, today we're doing another beautiful livestream together
You see the topic we are looking at today
Let's specifically look at the first part of C1 Listening.
That is usually the part where students have the most problems.
Because this is not just about listening, but from my perspective, it's also very much about strategy.
That means, what is the correct strategy?
How can this task be approached strategically in order to have sufficient time and capacity to focus on listening?
This means that, from my perspective, this task tests not only listening but also organization.
And how to organize this best, I'll show you today
I hope you can see and hear me well.
It should all work out fine.
Let's take a quick look at what the first part is actually about.
How Listening Comprehension Part 1 Works
This examination section is about global understanding.
You are listening to an interview about a current topic from academic or scientific life.
This is also TELC C1 for university, and TELC C1 General is the same thing.
Only the topic is a bit different
The listening tasks are the same, the writing tasks are the same, the reading tasks are the same
Only when you take the TELC C1 Hochschule exam do you encounter topics that are a bit more specific to university studies.
But the difficulty level and the way the tasks are structured are absolutely identical.
You are listening to an interview on a current topic, and eight different people sequentially express their brief personal opinions on it.
Your task on the worksheet is to match these 8 people with the appropriate statements.
This means we have a total of 10 statements, A through J.
There are 8 people; anyone who can calculate knows that two statements are entirely false.
These serve as distractions.
So that means one can quickly take a look at it
You have here A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J
There are 10 statements, but we are hearing only 8 texts.
That means 2 of these statements do not apply to any person
So, let's take a look at the most important tips
The first tip: you have one minute to read through the statements.
At this time, you absolutely must highlight key terms and do one more thing, which I will show you at the end.
You must start immediately; one minute for ten sentences is not a lot of time.
That means you have 6 seconds per sentence
Word traps
Also, the daily logs are naturally clever, especially the C1 ones.
If the word "prohibition" appears in statement E, then at least one speaker will definitely say the word "prohibition" aloud in the audio.
Yes, but this is no longer like A2 or B1, where you hear "prohibition" and the answer simply states "prohibition," and then yes, it must match.
If it's that easy, it usually doesn't fit in C1
Maybe he says something else, for example, "I don't approve of bans."
But the task says he finds bans super.
That means, when you hear these big words like this and you also read them in the text
Then it's usually a trap and it doesn't fit together
Therefore, pay attention to synonyms
You might not say "prohibited," but perhaps you would say, "Yes, I think it's good if it were allowed."
First listen, then decide
Actually, the point here is to say: don't decide too quickly.
Because sometimes the opinion in the text is changed or additional information is provided
Therefore, really try to listen to the text all the way to the end
Of course, perhaps you can already mark one or two tasks during that time
And then at the end, decide on one and then listen to the next task
And that is also very important—have the courage to leave gaps and immediately move on.
If you ever don't know a task
And you might have an idea, that might be B and E
Mark points B and E, write the number next to them corresponding to the speaker, and continue
If you think too long now, you'll panic and unfortunately won't have enough time left to hear the next task
Once you're out of rhythm, it's really difficult to get back in.
That means it's also something you must train.
If you don't know a task and perhaps only have an idea
Mark the idea, and then at the very end, you make a decision.
But as soon as the next speaker begins, you must focus on the next task and forget the previous one.
Even if you haven't answered them yet
Extremely, extremely important
Then also use the exclusion principle
If you already have an answer, and it's already gone, strike it through
That makes a huge difference, because if you've already crossed off three and you hear the next task
Then you already have much less to focus on
If you don't strike them out, you might forget them
Oh yes, I already knew it, then you read A again and that costs time once more
Also absolutely not on the answer sheet, but on the problem sheet
You can do whatever you want there.
Strike the through
If you're sure, okay, A is out, strike it through
Also, as mentioned, this is also very much about organization here.
And then, perhaps, the most important task
Think about it—this is usually a controversial topic.
We will soon see two, but let's take a very simple, controversial topic for now.
For example, should alcohol be banned?
Then, of course, there are people who say yes
And then there are people who say no
And you can relatively quickly hear in the texts whether someone is for or against it.
That means my suggestion would be
Let's do this together now
When you read through the tasks, mark them right away
Is the person for it or against it?
We now have ten tasks.
Let's say five are in favor and five are against.
And you already hear it in the first ten seconds of the text
Or within the first five seconds, that the person is suitable for it
Then you just need to look at these five.
And you can skip the other five
Do you understand this?
That is the absolutely most important tip I can give you for these tasks.
We'll do this together right away, then you'll see it
But again, so that you understand it
When we have ten opinions and discuss a controversial topic
Five people for it and five against it
Take the example of alcohol
And now I am a speaker, and I say
Yes, I do think alcohol is very dangerous.
There can be very many damages.
Now you already hear that I am against it
That means you now focus on these five, four, or five, or six answers
This varies from task to task.
Wherever the individuals are against it
And where there are people for whom this applies, you can omit them
Do you understand, that means you must
The group you have to choose from will become smaller
You no longer have to choose among ten sentences, but only five
And that is much easier
That is the best strategy I can give you here.
Let's go through these tasks now and decide together.
Also, this is about the topic of artificial intelligence and scientific writing.
We have two tasks
Let's do the first one together, just a bit.
For the second one, I'll let you handle things a bit more on your own.
Let's just take a look then
It's about artificial intelligence and scientific writing.
Probably it's about AI and university, homework
How much AI should one use, and so on
Written final theses should no longer count as independent assessment tasks in the future.
That means, I would rather say that if we're talking about AI and scientific writing now
This person is a bit against AI.
Could one say
Then, the assessment of written papers should be supplemented more by personal discussions or oral defenses.
The person is probably also a bit against AI.
Then, those who can afford better digital support can gain an unfair advantage in their studies.
The person is also against AI
Because she says, whoever has more money can afford better AI
Who has better AI is unfair
Then, digital tools can take over routine tasks, leaving more time for substantive work.
That means the person says, no, AI can also be positive.
Because she, let's say, takes care of unimportant tasks for me
And then I can focus more on what's important
Then, only a complete ban on AI can still prevent academic dishonesty.
That is naturally against AI
Programs can assist in formulating questions, but they cannot replace one's own scientific inquiry.
I'd say that's also against AI
Or perhaps a bit more neutral
Who lets the writing process be completely taken care of for them loses an important part of their own thinking.
Definitely also against AI
Yes, here we can already see that the majority is against AI here.
However, the reflective use of digital tools should be taught as an essential study skill.
That means this person is saying there should perhaps even be a university major for it.
Or a few extra courses where you learn how to work with AI
That means this person is responsible for AI
It is becoming increasingly difficult for instructors to assess students' actual performance.
That is also against AI
Universities should rely less on bans.
And instead reconsider how scientific writing is taught
Yes, I would also say that it's then rather positive
Also it is definitely not negative
That means we have here one, two, three opinions in favor of AI, one could say.
Or those who have no problem with AI
And we have seven opinions that have a problem with AI
Now that we are listening to the first speaker
And we hear that he is against AI
Then we focus on the seven who are against AI
When we hear the speaker and he is for AI
Or not against AI
Then we will focus on the three that are for AI
Do you understand?
Also in this case, it is 7.3
Sometimes it's 6.4
Sometimes it's 5.5
Regardless
And just simply
To make this a bit clearer
And we also have a bit more overview
Shall we do this together here?
So
That means, here we have the three who are in favor of it
You obviously can't do that in the test.
Because you can't re-sort this now
I'm just doing this so we can read it a bit more easily.
And now I'll just check how small I need to make this here
That one can see them all at once
This is also a bit of a problem with clarity here.
I even have to make it a bit smaller there
Yes, I think that's how it goes
So one can read it fairly well like this
I'm going to make myself a bit smaller
Okay
Now we'll listen to the first task.
And let's try to decide very quickly
Is the person for or against AI?
Yes
At the university
If she is against it
Let's see here, what opinion he says
If he's in favor, we can take a look here
Here there are only three options, after all.
Okay
Now we are hearing the first opinion
Let's listen very briefly now
Up to the point where one can say
Whether the person is for or against it
Yes
Okay
Then I'll say stop, and then we'll listen to it again
I think we shouldn't pretend right now like that
As if the classic thesis had already been completed
Of course, these programs can formulate things impressively well.
And sometimes they also provide a useful outline
But that is not the essence of a scientific paper.
What matters is whether someone develops an interesting question.
To narrow down and justify a problem
Why exactly this approach is sensible
No program can really take that from you
It can help with linguistic packaging.
But not about what science is actually supposed to be about
What are you saying here?
Where would you look for the answer now?
Here?
Or here?
By the way, I also have all the transcripts here
You can also download them later yourselves
Just like you can download everything yourselves
I will also upload the audio files.
You can look at all of that later then
Okay
Exactly, the person didn't speak positively about AI just now.
That means, we are looking for the answer here
Exactly
So, let's take a look once again
Let's listen again
And now you know, we're looking for the answer here
Then let's see where the correct answer is
I think we shouldn't pretend right now
As if the classic thesis had already been completed
Of course, these programs can formulate things impressively well
And sometimes they also provide a useful outline
But that is not the essence of a scientific paper.
What matters is whether someone develops an interesting question.
Identify and justify a problem
Why exactly this approach is sensible
No program can really take that away from someone.
It can help with linguistic packaging.
But not about what science is actually supposed to be about
So, what have you heard here?
Which statement fits this person best?
Which statement suits you best?
Please write your answer options in the chat
Hello, hello
Who wants to, who wants to?
I can already see a few correct answers
Exactly
F is also out
Can we strike it through
So, let's hear the next one
And let's think again— is that positive or negative?
I don't place much value on simply writing new blacklist lists right now.
Then we'll just discuss what is allowed and what isn't
And the real question remains unanswered
Many students didn't really understand things even before AI.
What good, scientific writing means
You have gathered quotations, chained paragraphs together, and hoped
That a piece of work emerges from it in the end
We would have had to start much earlier
How does one develop one's own research question?
How do you check digital suggestions?
And how does one make transparent which aids have been used?
Was the person now more against AI or not against AI?
Yes, exactly, the person wasn't against AI now.
She hasn't said very much against AI lately.
That means the answer is probably somewhere around here
We'll listen again
I don't think much of simply writing new prohibition lists right now.
Then we'll just discuss what is allowed and what isn't
And the real question remains unanswered
Many students didn't really understand things even before AI.
What good, scientific writing means
You have gathered quotes, chained paragraphs together, and hoped
That a piece of work emerges in the end
We would have had to start much earlier
How does one develop their own research question?
How do you check digital suggestions?
And how does one make transparent which aids have been used?
And many have already written it in the chat
Yes, I understand, that wasn't exactly super positive about AI just now.
But he hasn't spoken against AI either.
He has not criticized AI now
Rather, he has criticized how scientific writing is generally taught at universities.
That means exactly, J is out of here
So, let's hear the next person?
What worries me less is that a single sentence might have come from a program.
What I find problematic is when the entire arduous process of writing disappears.
When phrasing something, one often only realizes whether an idea truly holds up
Or whether one has only roughly understood what it's about
If you immediately have a finished text generated for you, you skip exactly this process.
Then the work might look neat.
But internally, much remains disordered.
In the long run, one then stops thinking through complex relationships oneself.
I believe it was fairly clear now that it was more directed against AI
We'll listen once again, and please decide what the correct answer is here.

Exactly, this clearly refers to task G, so it should also be removed.
Let's listen to the next one
Honestly, I also see the new programs as an opportunity.
So, it's already quite clear regarding this person
This is a very clear example of positivity.
That means we can go down right away; let's just listen to it one more time now
Honestly, I also see the new programs as an opportunity.
Much of what consumes time when writing isn't particularly clever to begin with.
Smooth phrasing, organize sections, collect initial literature references, or shorten a summary
If such things happen more quickly, at best, more energy will be left for what truly matters.
The argumentation, the selection of sources, and the question of what one actually wants to demonstrate
Of course, one must not blindly accept whatever a program outputs.
So, now you've just seen it, that was a perfect example right there.
You may have also noticed that sometimes the plus-minus thing isn't really straightforward at all.
Although I believe it's always a bit helpful, in this task it was extremely clear.
If you've made a plus here, you know, okay, it can only come from those two now
And then the task was super easy to solve.
So, let's listen to the next one
I think we're making it too easy on ourselves if we see AI merely as a threat to exams.
In their later professional lives, many will inevitably have to work with such systems.
Then it would make more sense to learn already during one's studies how to handle it critically and responsibly.
What do you think—would you say the person is currently speaking positively or negatively about AI?
Yes, rather positive, definitely not negative
I think we're making it too easy on ourselves if we see AI merely as a threat to exams.
In their later professional lives, many will inevitably have to work with such systems.
Then it would make more sense to learn already during one's studies how to handle it critically and responsibly.
That also includes recognizing boundaries.
When is a suggestion helpful?
When is he wrong, superficial, or manipulative?
This skill has now become just as much a part of academic training for me.
research, citation, or dealing with academic literature
He basically says that one should already learn how to deal with AI during university.
So this is not against AI, but rather for AI.
That means H is out too
Then we now have only A, B, C, E, and I left.
That means there are now only 5 options left.
There are still 2 tasks left.
Did I forget one?
3, 4, 5 are out
Did I perhaps forget number 4?
Okay, it doesn't matter, we'll have to listen to that again too
Now we'll listen to track number 7, 8 first
I think I forgot number 4
But first we'll do 7 and 8, and then I'll do 4 again.
We'll just listen to them one after the other now, and you can decide for yourselves.
A complete ban may sound reassuring, but practically, I find it hardly enforceable.
What concerns me more is the question of who actually benefits from these programs.
Free versions often deliver only average results.
while expensive offers make much more precise suggestions or even assist with style
Students who already have better prerequisites
They can then additionally purchase high-quality digital support.
Others stick with weaker aids or don't even dare to use them.
Thus, existing differences in studying could become even greater.
From the instructors' perspective, the situation is quite uncomfortable.
One receives a well-formulated paper, but one knows less and less how it came into being.
Did the student work on it for a long time? Was it only corrected linguistically?
Or does a large part originate from a system that no one discloses?
The so-called recognition programs only help to a limited extent.
because they make mistakes and ultimately fail to provide any evidence
Thus, grading becomes less certain.
One no longer judges a text merely, but must constantly think along.
what proportion has actually arisen independently
I don't think we should simply abolish written assignments.
But alone they are increasingly insufficient as proof
Previously, one could still relatively easily infer much from the style, from errors, or from the manner of argumentation.
Today it is more difficult
Therefore, I would find it meaningful to link the work more closely with conversation.
When someone can explain their reasoning, address objections, and justify their decisions,
One quickly notices whether there is truly a genuine understanding behind it.
A brief defense would often reveal more than yet another plagiarism check
So, that was just number 4
Okay, we can just do this again here, you can also do this at home
Look at the solution key once again
We had ended up with 7, 8, and then I did number 4.
Also number 4 was just B, number 7 was C, and number 8 was J.
Uh, sorry, I, not J
Yes, you can also listen to it again at home if you like.
So, that means A and E are not used
I'll give you all of this, you can download everything at the first comment after the stream ends
You can also read the transcript and so on, if you'd like
So, now we will do an exercise together once again
This time it's about attendance requirements at universities.
Another topic where one can easily be for or against it
And once again, let's read the tasks and see, whether the person is more inclined toward a mandatory attendance requirement.
That means the students have to come to the university
Or is he against a mandatory attendance requirement, and can one also do a lot online?
In-person events also foster skills in interacting with others, which are important in later professional life.
That means the person is clearly available for in-person events.
This means that the students are supposed to come to the university.
For many students, a certain external structure is helpful in order not to lose track during their studies.
That means the person is also more inclined toward it
Because this obligation to come to the university helps with organization
Then, some learning processes only arise precisely because one must immediately respond to others' arguments.
And I can only do that if I'm together with them
That means, also for him
Then, more flexible attendance rules particularly help students who have fixed commitments outside the university.
That means the person is rather against it and says
Yes, there are also people who have much else to do in life
And for them, it would be better if one didn't have to come.
After all, since students are adults, universities should原则上 dispense with any form of attendance monitoring.
That means the person is also clearly against it.
Then, if teaching predominantly takes place online, loneliness and psychological stress among students intensify.
This means the person is subject to a presence requirement.
Well, if there aren't any, then these problems just naturally arise.
Loneliness, psychological stress, and so on
Then, good teaching should be designed in such a way that students participate out of their own interest.
This means that the person is actually rather against a mandatory attendance requirement.
But she says that classes should be conducted in such a way that students want to come, not through obligation.
Then, without rigid attendance requirements, students can better adapt their lives to their personal work style.
So she is clearly against a mandatory attendance requirement as well.
When hardly anyone is left on campus, a significant part of university life is lost.
Clearly in favor of a mandatory attendance requirement
And then, uniform attendance rules may disadvantage students whose health is not predictable from day to day.
So she is against a mandatory attendance requirement.
That means we'll sort this again and group together the positive and negative ones
As I said, of course you can't do that in the exam, but we're just going to do it now anyway because we don't have enough space
This time it is relatively well divided
We have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, which are mandatory for attendance
And we have 5 who are against a mandatory attendance requirement.
I'll make these a bit smaller.
That means we'll listen now, and this time we'll listen to it all the way through.
I will, and as I said, this is not particularly realistic for the exam
As soon as we find out whether the person is for or against it, I will either go to this group or to this group.
Then you can directly type in the chat what this person says
Okay, we start with 1 and then 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
One after another
I always quickly show in the chat here whether it's 1 or 2
Then you can also write that in the chat
What was that again? I think, if I make a sign like that, something comes or it used to be like that earlier?
Regardless
Then comes such an animation
I think I could make some signs or symbols
Then these animations came about
Whatever, it doesn't matter either
That's not really the point here, though.
Okay, we're hearing it now too
As I said, during the exam you must naturally do this all on your own.
But if you've already indicated in the exam whether it's positive or negative
Or whether the person, let's say, is in favor of or against it
Then you can do the same thing.
It's naturally not sorted as well as it is here
Rather, you might have plus, plus, then minus, then plus, then minus, minus
But you can still focus on those who are for or against it
That means the strategy is the same
But you unfortunately can't sort it as well as I can right here now
But you see, if we do everything together, unfortunately there isn't enough space.
That's simply too much space
Also, we are now hearing one task after another
I either go to the group that is against mandatory attendance
Or to the group that is subject to a mandatory attendance requirement
Depending on what the person says
And exactly like that is how you should do it in the exam.
Good, we're starting now
We hear all eight one after the other
I always give a sign
One, two, three
Maybe like that
Four, five, six, seven, eight
A bit heavy like this
Somewhat like that
It will work out, yes
Okay, let's go
Of course, I understand that recorded lectures are practical.
That's especially advantageous when you're sick or want to catch up on something.
Still, I would have stomachaches if that became the norm.
A university is not just made up of content that can be accessed somewhere else
Much happens between the events
One gets into conversation with people
Notice that others have the same questions
Maybe find a study group
Or stay briefly in the hallway after the seminar
Although the substance would remain, everything else would disappear.
But the shared life at the university is becoming quite meager.

A university is not just made up of content that one can access somewhere else.
Much happens between the events
Sorry, I just had another idea
We'll do it this way: we'll hear each task twice.
And I'll do this once and that once, yes
That doesn't work in the test either
But then you might have a better idea, okay?

But the shared life at the university is becoming quite meager.
I am not against presence
But against the idea that everyone learns best at the same time and in the same place
For me, for example, it's often the case that I can truly absorb complex content only in the evenings.
Sometimes I'm physically present in a lecture, but I don't understand much.
When I can pause a recording, rewind it, and watch certain sections again, I work much more focused.
That has nothing to do with comfort for me, but rather with the fact that learning does not work at the same pace for every person.

In the discussion, it's often acted as if students had the entire day solely available for university.
That's simply not true
Many work 20 hours per week or more
Others take care of children, parents, or other family members
If then a seminar may only be attended at a specific time and missed sessions are strictly counted, enormous pressure arises.
Of course, one shouldn't just disappear and do nothing at all.
But more flexibility would particularly help those who take their studies seriously and still carry responsibilities outside campus.

I see the matter somewhat differently
Many students overestimate how well they can organize themselves right at the beginning of their studies.
This is not a question of intelligence, but of experience.
Suddenly, there is no more timetable like in school
No one reminds one daily about dues, and much of it initially appears voluntary.
If regular participation is also missing, some will quickly lose track.
A mandatory attendance policy is certainly not a perfect tool.
But it can provide a kind of framework until one has learned to work independently.

For me, it's not about whether one can also watch a lecture as a video.
Partially, this may work in purely knowledge-based instruction.
But in a good seminar, the crucial moment often arises spontaneously.
Someone objects
Another person provides an example.
Suddenly one must formulate one's own position more precisely
That's exactly how you know whether you've truly understood something.
If everyone just uploads pre-prepared files or sits silently in a video conference, that friction is missing.
Scientific thinking does not develop solely through consuming material, but through engagement with it.

If everyone just uploads pre-prepared files or sits silently in a video conference,
this friction is missing. Scientific thinking does not develop solely through
Consuming material, but through engagement. For me, it never goes.
I find that the debate is sometimes conducted from the wrong angle. When instructors
especially discussing how to compel students to participate
also says something about the event. Of course, there are always people who prefer to
sleep in. But many still don't stay away just because they are fundamentally lazy,
but because they perceive no added value in certain sessions. If a course
is well prepared, offers room for participation, and clearly explains why presence truly matters
Then most people will come voluntarily, requiring much less control.

everything about how to compel students to participate also says something about
