Main themes Various activities related to the business world in the language laboratory to gradually improve the students' listening comprehension skills and the students' oral production skills (pronunciation, accentuation and intonation).
Aims At the end of the course, the student should at least have reached the C1 level in listening skills and the B2+ level in oral skills in Dutch in specialised contexts (business). With the aim of facilitating the listening comprehension and spontaneous oral expression about different topics from the business world, the student should be able to master the language functions, the grammatical structures, the genre conventions, the general and business vocabulary.
Content On the one side, the student is encouraged to gradually improve his/her listening comprehension skills with videos and audio-tapes (monologues, dialogues, formal and familiar registers, different accents, specialised contexts such as business, economics, politics, …). On the other side, the course aims to improve oral production skills (pronunciation, accentuation, intonation, specialised expressions, …) with various oral exercises partly taking place in a language laboratory, with lexical extension and with the revision of the main grammar structures. Detailed correction by the teacher.
Other information Prerequisites: B1+ level of listening and reading in Dutch (Common European Framework for languages). Assessment: - Continuous assessment during the whole year, including the student's participation during class and the weekly assignments drafted individually or in little groups at home. - The exam consists of listening comprehension exercices and an oral part. Course materials: The course materials include course notes (listening comprehension and pronunciation material) and audio-tapes. Possibility of self-tuition for the listening comprehension at the self-tuition centre (CAA) of the ILV. The content of the classroom exercises has been developed in cooperation with the teacher of the GERM 2432 course Oral business communication techniques in order to make sure that the two courses are complementary. At least one part of the exercises should refer to the subjects treated in GERM2243 Reading comprehension and vocabulary extension course to make sure that the students are able to pronounce the specialised terminology covered in this course.
