Learning unit contents

This course's aims have two main aspects. The theoretical aspect of the course aims at introducing the students to the concept of linguistic variation. The practical aspect of the course aims at reinforcing and developing the language skills and communicative skills of the participants in Dutch, both in terms of reception (reading and listening comprehension) and in terms of production (written and oral expression).
In the theoretical part, we will analyze the linguistic features of different (standard and other) varieties of Dutch.
In the practical part we will improve various language skills through the following activities:

reading comprehension exercises (analysis of texts and scientific articles related to the course); * listening comprehension exercises (analysis of audio-visual materials on topics related to the course); * vocabulary exercises (vocabulary of articles and audio-visual materials covered in the course); * writing exercises; * oral presentation exercises.

These different activities will allow the students, on the one hand, to sharpen their theoretical and practical knowledge of the Dutch language and, on the other hand, to make them more sensible to its linguistic diversity.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

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

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

At the end of this course, the students will also have acquired a high level of lexical knowledge (C1 level of the Common European Framework).
