Content
This teaching unit aims at developing the communication practice while reinforcing the mastery of the code (vocabulary, grammar) through:
- Role plays, debates on various topics and discussions based on articles, videos
- Individual presentations of a previously selected press article
- Group presentations on a topic related to the Flemish culture or on a topic related to the students'field of study
- A cultural trip to Flanders (visit of a Flemish town or an exhibition), chosen, prepared and organized by the students.
Teaching methods
The Teaching Unit consists of classroom activities as well as a-learning activities.
The more general vocabulary related to daily life, to the news items and to contemporary problems as well as the academic vocabulary are presented in the self-tuition syllabus.
The specific Dutch grammatical structures are also presented in the self-tuition syllabus with exercices and key to exercices.
The revision and expansion of the general vocabulary as well as the revision of grammatical points will be exercised through oral practice activities and self-tuition tests on the Moodle e-learning Platform. This will require the spontaneous study of the code by the student who is responsible for perfecting his linguistic knowledge.
The debates, discussions and presentations also require a certain amount of preparation by the student. Besides, the students are supposed to participate to the cultural trip.
