Content
The objectives of this class aim at the following learning skills:
- develop individual note-taking systems ;
- deliver correctly in Dutch the message originally expressed in languages A and B;
- update Dutch linguistic proficiency;
- develop the ability to make an in-depth analysis of an oral presentation;
- communicate in a way that creates a feeling of trust with the audience ;
- demonstrate flexibility and mental acuity in adapting without hesitation to novel communicative situations.
This TU focuses mainly on 1) listening skills and analysis: how is the speech organized? What is the structure of the text? What is the core message? What is the purpose of the speech? 2) Conveying the message as precisely as possible (with all due respect to shades of meaning) in a natural and fluent Dutch.
Students will work on the basis of texts taken from real conferences, in order to become familiar with the profession.
