Syllabus

• Every other week, students follow a module in the MOOC Dutch for advanced non-native speakers, in which listening and vocabulary exercises are the main focus and attention is paid to language variation. In the following week, writing assignments and linguistic input are linked to the topic discussed in the module. Vocabulary is practiced and productive skills (writing and especially speaking) are during the weekly lectures. This semester the following modules are covered:
• What does your language reveal about you? (module 1)
• Do you talk differently if you watch a lot of TV? (module 2)
• Why do so many gifted people fail to graduate? (module 3)
• Can following the news be deadly? (module 4)
• Are you a loser if you don't make a career? (module 9)
• Why do you get stressed from sitting at home? (module 6)
