During the course, as much attention as possible is paid to the customs within the field of your study.
Methodology
At the start of the course, you will hand in a text you have written for your studies. After that, there are five meetings, during which you will learn what an academic text in Dutch should comply with: form, style, structure, sentence structure and word choice. Your attendance at the five meetings is mandatory.
In-class and individual
Each session consists of a in-class part and a customised individual part. In the in-class part, you practice general academic writing skills. In the individual part, you work on your specific problems in language or general writing skills. These include general and academic vocabulary; sentence structure; the verb system; the use of nouns, articles and references; and spelling and punctuation. We determine what you will work on based on a diagnostic test you take in the first meeting. After the third meeting there is an individual coaching session. During this, you will discuss your text and your writing problems with a writing coach.
