Engels

This course can be followed by students who do not speak Dutch. The teacher is a native speaker. 

Een goede basis kennis van het Engels is nodig. We oefenen alledaagse situaties. De focus ligt op communiceren en minder op grammatica. De spreekvaardigheid wordt bevorderd door opdrachten in groepjes. Uiteraard besteden we ook aandacht aan de Britse cultuur.

Material for the course English Conversation produced by the teacher. Costs €5.

This is a course for literature lovers who like reading and discussing a good book in English. We will talk about the author, the structure, the themes and the caracters in the book. Reading is a healthy habit in a hectic world. It gives pleasure and often food for thought.

The first novel discussed on October 22 will be Normal People by Sally Rooney.
