Germanic Languages | Dutch Reading Composition & Conversation II
N404 | 7423-27036 | M. Goff
Prerequisite: N250/N403 or permission of the instructor
Besides focusing on the textbook, we will concentrate throughout the
second semester on three topics:
1 Short stories from the Netherlands and Belgium and one book;
2 Dutch television series and films;
3 Introduction to Dutch literature.
The skills focused on in the 4th semester are: perfection of speaking,
grammar and writing. The films and television series will help your
listening comprehension of the native language spoken in a natural
environment. Oral skills will be enhanced by active participation in
discussions and by presenting two main projects in class and smaller
ones throughout the semester. Quizzes, a midterm and a final, will
count towards the final grade.
