Course content

• Application of previously acquired knowledge of grammar and sentence structure through representative assignments (see below).
• Application and expansion of previously acquired general and course-specific vocabulary on the basis of reading, analyzing, summarizing, and presenting English-language articles.
• Further development of the student's speaking, writing, and reading skills through representative assignments (see below).

• Representative assignments (individual and/or group)
○ look up and process information on an unfamiliar topic and present it to colleagues
○ give an educational or explanatory presentation to colleagues
○ summarize a text
○ develop a vocabulary list
○ organize and conduct a meeting

• Independent work:
• Components of group work (division of labor with autonomy)

Group work:
• Collaboration with other students in randomly formed groups
• Communication is exclusively in English in all circumstances and at all times, in order to simulate as realistic a work situation as possible in which e.g. a supervising colleague does not have a command of Dutch.
