Level A2 (as taught in LANG8020) is recommended for grammar.
Evening courses (see ISLV) or online courses (@LTER).
All students are automatically enrolled in the iWeG (Interactieve Woordenschat en Grammatica) course on eCampus. These online modules are a valuable addition to the course and allow students to practice at their own pace.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Reading and listening comprehension, grammar and vocabulary exercises, debates, written assignments, etc.
Course preparation must be completed at home each week. The time required for this will vary depending on the student's prior knowledge and experience. This preparation at home is crucial for optimizing class interactions and maintaining the right pace.

The vocabulary tests account for 20% of the final mark.
The written and oral exams in June are two inseparable parts.

Classwork accounts for 10% of the final mark. Any student who has been absent for more than 50% of the course sessions risks receiving a grade of 0/20 for classwork.
