Taal en cultuur van het Nederlandse taalgebied

Students will be invited to study various linguistic, literary and cultural aspects of historical periods or of relevant themes that have received little or no attention in the previous years. After an introductory college, the course consists of seminars on the basis of reading and research work carried out by students.

The objective of this course is [1] to develop and refine students' analytical and synthetic skills acquired over four years of study; and [2] to enhance, by means of the study of linguistic and literary phenomena, students' knowledge of the Dutch language, literature and culture.

Active interaction professor-students.

References, bibliography, and recommended reading

The reading for this course will be communicated to students at the beginning of the course and may vary in relation to the selection of particular themes.

Personal work

Oral examination

Oral exam (literature), paper (linguistics) in June. The August exam session is organised in the same way.

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

Students will need to obtain at least 10/20 for each part of the course. Each part will count for 50% of the final mark. If students fail one of these parts, they will receive a fail mark for the whole course ('échec absorbant). Students will be allowed, however, to transfer their success mark for one of the course parts to the second (August) session (= students will only have to resit the part they failed). Transferring marks is only possible between two sessions of the same academic year.
