Course objectives

In this course we aim at level B2+/C1 according to the CEFR (European Framework of Reference for Languages). Students follow the course "Dutch for advanced speakers", which is set up according to the principle of the "flipped classroom". One week, students go through an online module, in which listening and vocabulary exercises are the main focus and attention is paid to language variation. The following week students prepare writing assignments, language input and vocabulary connected to the central topic. During the weekly classes vocabulary, writing and especially speaking are being practiced.

Learning outcomes

Students build on language skills and develop communication skills to get C1 at the end of the fourth semester.
