Teaching Dutch to migrants | half : 4 and 11

Teaching Dutch to migrants | 2 half days:
December 4 and 11

Do you teach Dutch to migrants? Do you have questions about how to handle this? Then this 2-evening course is suitable for you.

Learning Dutch by an illiterate person is very different from someone who can already read and write. During the course you will be given a simple exercise to test whether someone is already sufficiently literate.

When do you have a student read aloud or quietly? Which text should you choose? How do you deal with cultural differences? Are you aware of how Dutch culture is viewed? And your role, do you choose a helping role or do you assume that the student has to do it themselves?

This course provides many tools and insights that you can apply immediately.
