Course Content

'Academische taalbeheersing Nederlands 2' builds on the first bachelor course 'Academische taalbeheersing Nederlands 1' with a unique focus on academic writing. Throughout the year, students write and rewrite multiple texts. Students read texts written by their peers and provide feedback. Students are also expected to rewrite their own work on the basis of feedback provided by peers and tutor. Assignments aim to connect with the expectations of the second bachelor Dutch language programme.

Within the academic writing style, students try to develop their own style and flow. Attention is paid to clear and concise formulations, as well as a coherent development of the text. Students receive further training in the use of sources and the referencing style of APA. The use of AI and other digital tools is also dealt with.
