Result
In this advanced course, participants will extend their knowledge of Dutch, going from CEF-level B2.1 to B2.2 Participants receive a certificate if the course portfolio is evaluated positively and after 80% attendance.
Content
On your way from B1.1 to B2.1, you will study themes 11 to 15 of the online learning platform Link+ Dutch B1-B2 to improve your language proficiency. The course consists of one class per week.
During the lessons, you will work on your oral language skills under the guidance of your teacher. You can also ask your teacher questions about the self-study programme and about language issues that you encounter in every-day life.
You will be evaluated based on a portfolio, which you have to complete by the end of the course. The portfolio consists of listening and reading tests, speaking and writing assignments and a spoken exam in the final lesson. If the result is satisfactory, you will be able to enrol in the B2C1 conversation course.
Duration and time investment
Active participation and attendance are required. The course consists of 10 weekly lessons of 2 hours each. Please take into account the fact that the course work will amount to approximately 6 hours per week: 4 hours of homework and 2 hours in the lesson. Homework is best spread across the week, which works better than doing everything in one go.
Admission criteria
Admission is granted based on certificates obtained from earlier language courses, in this case, Dutch B2.1, or an intake exam, which you can register for here.
