Dutch - Level 2

COURSE

Course description

This beginner course will reinforce the basics learned in Dutch - Level 1 and build on it by introducing new vocabulary and giving you the opportunity to further develop your conversation skills.

Learning objectives

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

  • use the perfect tense, the past tense, and past principle
  • talk about things that happened the previous week
  • make a phone call
  • have small talk with a friend

Colloquial Dutch: A Complete Language Course, 2016 edition, by Bruce Donaldson (mandatory)

Format

Our online hybrid language courses make language learning flexible and convenient. The use of both synchronous and asynchronous delivery styles allows for both real-time virtual classroom conversation practice (synchronous delivery) and self-paced study (asynchronous delivery). The synchronous delivery style will occur during the scheduled class dates and time, using Zoom for videoconferencing, chat and screen sharing for class instruction and pair/group work. The asynchronous delivery style uses Brightspace, an online environment where learners can access class materials and resources for self-paced study throughout the week. Educational activities can include exercises, readings, forums, audio/video files, quizzes, etc.

Dates

World Language courses are offered three times per year:

  • September (registration opens in June)
  • January (registration opens in November)
  • April (registration opens in November)
