Digital Writing Courses

Programme: This writing course is available at two levels.

The first one is designed for students who have achieved level B1 and leads to level B2. It is the ideal preparation for the writing section of the NT2-exam Programme II.

The second course, is for who students are at level B2, giving them the possibility progress to level C1.

Intake: Before the start of the course, your level is assessed during an introductory meeting with your tutor. This meeting gives you the opportunity to describe your wishes and goals, and allows the tutor to explain the methodology that will be followed. Once the course has started all contact between you and the Kickstart tutor will be through email.

Content: The content of this course can be adjusted according to your specific requirements and objectives. The standard courses have a section which focuses on ‘social Dutch’ and one which deals with “business Dutch”. Kickstart can combine elements from the two courses, in order to create a course which meets you specific requirements.  In addition, you can contribute your own material from your programme of study or your workplace.

Procedure: The methodology of this course allows you to determine the pace at which you follows the programme. You will do each assignment at your own pace and send your work to your tutor by email. The tutor reviews the work and comments on specific aspects which need improving. They then return the work to you so that you can make the improvements as required. You then return it again to the tutor. This two-phased approach has proven to be very effective in improving a student’s writing ability.

Homework: 2-3 hours per session

Course fee: € 390. All learning materials are included.
