Learning unit contents

This course has two main objectives: on a theoretical level, it aims at analysing some syntactic constructions that are particularly problematic for French-speaking learners of Dutch; on a practical level, its aim is to further develop the communication skills (both receptive and productive skills) of the students in Dutch.
In the theoretical part, we will tackle some syntactic constructions that are particularly problematic for French-speaking learners of Dutch, including er, pronominal adverbs and passive constructions..
In the practical part, we will train the communicative skills of the students by organizing the following activities:

• reading and listening comprehension exercises;
• essay-writing; 
• the composition of a portfolio.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

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

• to describe and explain how word the syntactic constructions we discussed work in Dutch;
• to analyze these constructions in an original article;
• to write a coherent essay on a general topic (B2 level)
• to understand specialized texts (B2+ level)
• to follow a natural conversation in Dutch (B2 level)

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

There are no formal prerequisites for this course. However, having earned the credits for Dutch Language Proficiency I (LGER0009-1 ) is definitely an asset.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course includes formal lectures which will be as interactive as possible on the one hand and practical sessions on the other.
Additional practical sessions will be organized weekly for the students who should improve their oral proficiency skills (responsible teacher: Marie Jadot)

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face mode of delivery.
Sessions of two hours a week.
Alternation of theoretical and practical sessions.
Use of the eCampus-platform

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

The course will be given at a distance if the health situation is evolving towards orange code.
Regardless of the health context, the written exam will take place in a physical environment, respecting the security measures in force.
The oral examination will also be offered in a face-to-face setting if possible. If the health conditions do not allow it, the oral exam will be held by videoconference.

Recommended or required readings

Lecture notes will be made available after each course.
Reference books (for the theoretical part) are:

Assessment methods and criteria
