Children can learn the German language in kindergarten, at school and in daily life or in intercultural meeting places.
Kindergartens in the state of Bremen have the task to support children in language development and to carry out special language support measures for children with a need for language support (https://www.bildung.bremen.de/sprache_und_kommunikation-149693).
In Bremen, all children take part in a language test one year before school enrolment. The language development is checked by the so-called language level assessment. If children need support, they receive language support measures the year before school enrolment (https://www.bildung.bremen.de/cito_sprachtest-4431).
All school-age children without sufficient German language skills are assigned to so-called pre-courses, where they receive language lessons. The preliminary courses take place in schools throughout Bremen. Refugee children and unaccompanied refugee minors receive initial language training by teachers in the registration center. These language learning courses are free (https://www.bildung.bremen.de/deutsch_lernen-117140).
In regular school education, language education and language support are systematically continued as an integrated measure in primary and secondary schools (https://www.lis.bremen.de/fortbildung/sprachbildung-71307).
