Description

Module description

This is an intermediate Dutch language course. Topics cover current affairs, debates and cultural issues in the Low Countries. Language tasks in this course require a more sustained presentation of information and argumentation, in both speaking and writing. There are additional conversation sessions with a student language assistant. Students are expected to take increasing responsibility for identifying their own strengths and weaknesses and for taking remedial action as appropriate. By the end of the year students should be able to express opinions on specialist topics and will be able to apply more complex grammar and higher registers of vocabulary in both speaking and writing, equivalent to CEFR level B2, which is the requirement for studying abroad in the Netherlands or Flanders.

The course is assessed by a two-hour desk exam and an oral exam, as well as a portfolio of homework tasks and in-class tests.

Students need to acquire a copy of the Routledge Intensive Dutch Course (Routledge 2006). Further study material will be handed out in class and made available on the course Moodle pages.
