Learning outcomes
|
During this course deal the students in a systematic way with Dutch and Flamish songs originating in the recent decades. In the first third of the course presents the teacher the model songs and approaches how they can be exploited for the purposes of maintaining and increasing the language competence in the target language, as well as the students' motivation at the advanced level. As the basic approach to the systematic exploitations of songs in FLT serves the Nederlied-approach. In the next part the students prepare under the supervision of the teacher the presentations of the songs of their choice. However, these songs have to fulfill the criteria concerning the diversity and balance of their content and style, so that they represent both parts of the Dutch speaking area (the Netherlands, Belgium). Special attention is being paid to further extending of the students range of vocabulary and to applying the grammar rule in the practice, as well as to understanding the background (society, period) of the song and as such deepening the cultural knowledge of the students.
Further building up Dutch vocabulary, oral and writing communicative skills in Dutch.
