Learning unit contents

This course has two main objectives. On a theoretical level, it aims at introducing the students to the basic notions of linguistic variation on the other. On a more practical level, the objective is to improve the different language skills of the students (as well the productive as the receptive skills).
In the theoretical part, we will analyze the linguistic features of different (standard and substandard) varieties of Dutch on the other.
In the practical part we will improve the different language skills through the following activities:


  • reading comprehension tasks;
  • listening comprehension tasks;
  • oral presentations;
  • writing exercises (essays);
  • vocabulary exercises;
  • a retranscription.
These different activities will allow the students to sharpen their theoretical and practical knowledge of Dutch to make them more sensible to its linguistic diversity.

At the end of this course, the students will be able to:

  • list and describe the linguistic features of different varieties of Dutch;

  • comment a scientific article on linguistic variation in Dutch;
  • write a coherent essay in Dutch (C1 level);
