Course Structure and Personalization
While we typically follow a structured course book, we understand that every company has unique needs. To ensure that the General Dutch courses align perfectly with your team’s goals, we offer a free Zoom consultation to get to know your company and answer any questions. During this session, we will discuss key elements such as:
- Assessing language levels: If unknown, we can help evaluate your team’s current proficiency to ensure the course aligns with their abilities.
- Tracking progress: If you would like to monitor your team's development, we can incorporate assessments and provide reports to track progress.
- Maximizing the investment: We encourage regular attendance to get the most out of the course. If employees miss any lessons, we recommend booking catch-up sessions to ensure they do not fall behind and can continue progressing.
- Customizing for specific needs: Whether it’s industry-specific vocabulary or certain areas of focus, we can make some adjustment to the content based on your team’s requirements.
Our approach
Our communicative teaching style encourages interaction and helps students build confidence in real life situations. Our Flipping the Classroom approach allows students to study new grammar, vocabulary, and language functions before class at their own pace. The lesson time is then dedicated to applying this knowledge through interactive activities and discussion, with ample practice to reinforce learning.
Lessons are built around:
- Discussions and role-plays
- Practical communication to help you feel more integrated in Dutch
society
- Guided practice in speaking, listening, reading, including support
with pronunciation.
- Listening and comprehension activities
- Grammar and vocabulary building
By combining these elements, participants not only improve their understanding of Dutch but also feel more confident following conversations, expressing themselves, and engaging more independently in daily life.
