What is ÖSD?
ÖSD is the nationally recognized examination and assessment system for German as a foreign language and German as a second language. The ÖSD German exams correspond to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the German Language Profile.
The German abbreviation ÖSD stands for "Österreich, Schweiz, Deutschland" (Austria, Switzerland, Germany). ÖSD promotes the concept of polycentric German and reflects the diversity of the German language in its examinations. It means that standard variants from these countries are treated equally.
History of ÖSD
The year 1992/1993 marked the birth of ÖSD when it was established at the initiative of ÖDaF as part of a working group headed by Dr. Robert Saxer at The University of Klagenfurt.
With the support of the former Austrian Foreign Ministry and the Federal Ministry of Education, Scientific Research, ÖSD became a project of the University of Vienna in 1994 as part of the German as a Foreign Language course, with Ph.D. supervision by university professors.
ÖSD has since received the backing of the Board of Directors and financial support from various Austrian ministries. Board members include related institutions such as universities, adult education institutions, and interest groups.
