If you have any questions about the course, please email one of the course tutors, Dr An or Paul, the course administrator.  

Course content 

The course is centred on your one-to-one lessons with your individual tutor. In each lesson (of 60 minutes) you explore three or four grammar topics together with your tutor which you then practice further offline in a series of exercises and tasks. All your course work is corrected by your tutor and further interactive exercises are available in the two online grammars of Dutch that were specifically developed by CLIE to function alongside this course.

Course Delivery

The course is delivered via an online learning environment (Moodle). All course materials can be downloaded for offline use. After you complete the course, you continue to have access to the online course materials. The course includes 12 weekly one-hour one-to-one lessons via Zoom or MS Teams. Note that these sessions do not take place at a set time. You decide with your tutor for each individual lesson on a day and time that suits you both. In exceptional circumstances, a short extension may be agreed with your tutor.

You need internet access and a computer (desktop, laptop or tablet) and webcam.
