Néerlandais III

The course covers a range of subjects related to students' studies and the labour market.

Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of a broader vocabulary as well as basic economic vocabulary. To this end, a number of topics will be covered which will form the basis for the development of both oral and written skills.
Students will need to learn how to summarise texts and videos and be able to participate in and lead a debate. This presupposes that the student has mastered the basic vocabulary and grammar (see block 1 and block 2 courses) and maintains this knowledge.
Given that the course aims to acquire and develop communication skills, it goes without saying that effective student participation is required, without which the course will not be able to achieve its objectives.
