The language elements (Sprachbausteine) are a compact part of the telc B2 exam in which even small gaps cost points. That is exactly why it pays to practise them specifically. Here you learn what they require and where most points are lost.
telc B2 language elements: where the points are
How ready are you really?
Your Ready-Score shows you in a mock exam where you stand today. Free, no risk.
In the language elements you fill gaps in a text and show whether you have a confident command of grammar and fixed phrases. At B2 level it is about more demanding structures such as the passive, the subjunctive, nominal style and more complex connections. Where this part sits in the exam is shown in the overview of the four parts and the page on the exam sections.
Where most points are lost
Typical pitfalls are fixed connections, that is connectors, as well as verbs with fixed prepositions. Whoever guesses here gives away points, because the solution is often fixed and not a matter of taste.
How to win the points back
Proceed strategically instead of simply inserting the first word that comes to mind, more on this in solving language elements strategically. And practise specifically the grammar topics that come up again and again, for example the modal verbs.
The bottom line
The telc B2 language elements are not a game of chance but pure practice. Whoever has a confident command of the most important structures reliably scores points here.
