Content
This teaching unit involves
- the revision and extension of general vocabulary as well as specific (field-related) vocabulary,
- the revision of specific Dutch structures by means of oral and written exercices. There will be no systematic teaching of grammatical theory,
- the training and development of reading and listening skills.
Teaching methods
- Groups of maximum 20 students.
-
Workload :
30 teaching hours
42 hours of autonomous work - Mainly practical speaking exercices based on reading files related to the proàfessional world, the study field of current affairs.
- Course material : the student receives part of the cours material in the first class and the rest gradually during the year, as the TU is mainly based on current affairs (economy, science, society,'). A general, professional vocabulary list and another one more specific to each student's study filed will be sent to the student by mail. On request, the student may ask for extra grammatical exercises and their corrections.
Evaluation methods
6/20 go to continuous assessment (2 for participation in class, 2 for written tasks, 2 for oral taskts).
The evaluation of writing skills will be organised during the last week and will count for 6/20. Speaking skills will be tested during the last week of the term or during the exam session and will count for 8/20.
