Course description
Have you reached your B1 level in Dutch but are you still not a confident speaker or writer? We’ve got two courses that you might be interested in: Schrijfvaardigheid and Spreekvaardigheid. Since you already understand Dutch, the course description is in Dutch. If you can understand it, then the course is suitable for you!
Method
We maken samenvattingen van actuele interessante krantenartikelen en corrigeren deze. In het eerste uur van de les kijken we naar de grammaticale obstakels die een goede tekst in de weg staan.
Wat zijn die hardnekkige problemen? Inversie, woordvolgorde in bijzinnen, wel of geen ‘de’ of ‘het’ of ‘een’. Spelling: is het ‘d’ of ‘t’ of ‘dt’? Voorzetsels. Is het ‘wachten op de bus’ of ‘wachten voor de bus’? Vocabulaire, idiomen….
De cursus wordt gegeven door Ruud Hisgen die niet alleen docent is, maar ook auteur van populairwetenschappelijke boeken. We maken schrijfopdrachten die in een kleine groep worden besproken. Natuurlijk komen spelling en grammatica aan de orde, maar het belangrijkst is de keuze van woorden en idiomen voor specifieke teksten.
De cursus duurt 8 weken (2 uur les per week).
Prerequisites
This course requires an intermediate knowledge of Dutch (B1 level CEFR). Students who didn’t complete the Intermediate B1 course at Direct Dutch Institute are required to book an appointment for a free oral test. For more information about course levels (the CEFR), our intakes and course prerequisites, please go the page ‘Where do I start?‘
Can I first enrol in a course, and do the intake later?
All courses that start higher than A0 have
prerequisites. An intake is
required if you haven’t completed a course at Direct Dutch before AND you want to take a course that doesn’t start at A0.
If you want to enrol in a course, and worry about the intake later, that’s fine. After we receive your enrolment form, we will inform you if a free oral test is required. Please also feel free to book an appointment for a free oral test prior to enrolling in a course.
For more information about course levels (the CEFR), our intakes and course prerequisites, please go the page ‘Where do I start?‘ Would you rather talk to one of us in person? Please feel free to contact our office!
