Face-to-face , second term, 30 hours of theory.

Dutch

- Development of various skills in order to reach level B2-C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference: written and oral expression, reading and listening comprehension;
- The courses and home preparation will help the students to master the language in terms of vocabulary and grammatical structures.
- Familiarisation with Dutch-speaking culture.

For the Bachelor : Business Engineering :

For the Bachelor in Economics and Management :

None

The courses examine different aspects of society and aim to broaden the lexical field, in particular vocabulary relating to economics, politics, current affairs, work, social affairs and culture.
Each theme will be developed during one or two courses. These will enable to:
- develop reading or listening comprehension skills through recent articles or reports on the chosen themes;
- improve written production through writing and occasional revision of grammar;
- use the vocabulary and grammar studied in context;
- develop written and oral production skills through essays and debates on the studied topics.

There are two hours of Dutch per week during the second term.

The two hour-course is mainly devoted to the activities of :
a) reading: texts in the syllabus and a book ‘Freakonomics' by Steven D. Levitt and
Stephen J. Dubner, 2009 (De Bezige Bij).
b) written expression exercises and audition/viewing of films and reports, focusing on everyday life situations and related to current events and partly to themes specific to the chosen section.
c) oral expression.

If a part of the teaching activities cannot be carried out face-to-face for sanitary reasons, instructions will be sent via Moodle / Teams and the active participation of each student in these activities will be expected. Any modification to the lesson plan (contents, calendar,...) due to external circumstances will be communicated via Moodle.


An exemption test is organized at the beginning of the first term, the week of 21 September 2020, to allow the strongest students to be exempted from the course.
Please note that an overall mark of 16/20 must be obtained in order to be exempted from the course.

There will be a written and an oral exam at the end of the term.

A/ The written off-session exam takes place on Monday 10 May 2021.
The exam will cover the subjects studied in Freakonomics (Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, 2009, De Bezige Bij).
This part will count for 50% in the final weight.

B/ The oral off-session exam (dates to be defined), will cover all the subjects studied during the term.
This part will count for 50% in the final weight.

In case the student has not obtained the average (for the 2 parts) of 10/20 in June, he/she is obliged to represent the part(s) for which he/she has not obtained 10/20 in August.

Students who get 10/20 or higher will keep their result. The students will therefore not be able to re-sit their oral/written exam for which they have obtained a mark of 10/20 or higher.

If the sanitary conditions do not allow for face-to-face examinations, the modes of evaluation will be hybrid. The exams will also be organized off session and the grade weight will remain the same.

Any changes to the assessments, due to external circumstances, will be communicated via Moodle.

- The book Freakonomics (Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, 2009, De Bezige Bij) in DUTCH - must be acquired by the student.
