About the Language Booster Writing B1 Dutch

Do you feel unsure about writing emails and reports? Would you like to practice structuring and organizing a text? Or do you want to work on the tone of your message and get to the point more quickly? This Writing Language Booster will bring your writing skills up to level B1. You’ll practice writing texts and refining them. You’ll also learn how to effectively use AI as a tool.

In 8 Dutch lessons:

  • do you know how to write a good, focused text;
  • Do you know the steps you need to take when writing an email or letter?
  • you have a better eye for punctuation and coherence in a text;
  • you can write more concisely;
  • you’ll write with more confidence and enjoyment.

In this course, you will work toward achieving a B1 level of proficiency in writing. By the end of the course, you will write more clearly, more coherently, and with greater confidence in Dutch. You will find it easier to strike the right tone, express yourself more concisely, and pay closer attention to spelling, punctuation, and coherence.

If you successfully complete the course, you will have reached the level required for the State Exam in Dutch Program I in the area of writing. It is important to note that this Language Booster is not exam preparation. During the lessons, we do not practice the specific writing exercises that appear on the exam.

After the course, you can continue with The Language Booster: Writing B2 Dutch. Or you can continue to improve your speaking skills with The Language Booster: Speaking B1 Dutch.

Approach

In this course, you will learn effectively using a blended approach; both at home and in class, you will be engaged with course materials designed by Babel. During the course, you will be given several writing assignments for your portfolio for which you will receive a passing or failing grade. During lesson 8 you will make two final assignments in class for which you will also receive a grade. The course must be completed with a passing grade for all portfolio assignments and a satisfactory grade for the final assignment.

Teaching Materials

During the first lesson you will receive a reader that we will work with mainly during class. You do preparatory work at home so that there is plenty of time to practice and deepen during the meetings.

Teachers

You will be taught by an experienced tutor who will give you targeted feedback on your writing and help you make visible progress. The tutor guides you step by step through the writing process.

Certificate of Participation

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which Dutch language level suits me?

To make sure you enrol at the right level, you can take our free placement test. This test will help you assess your current level of Dutch. Once you’ve completed it, the test will be marked by one of our experienced teachers, who will provide you with personalised feedback. That way, you’ll know exactly which level suits you best.

Can I catch up on a missed Dutch class?

Unfortunately, in group courses it is not possible to make up a missed lesson, because the lessons take place at fixed times for the whole group. Through the lesson materials, homework and lesson plan in MyBabel, you can work through the missed material independently so that you can continue to follow the course well.

Can I pay for my Dutch course in installments?

You pay the course fee in a single payment. You can do this upon registration via iDEAL, credit card, or by having your employer pay the invoice.

What are the advantages of a group language course?

A group language course offers the opportunity to learn and practice with others. You benefit from interactive lessons, learn from the questions and experiences of fellow students, and have plenty of opportunity to use the language actively. In addition, the group dynamic often provides extra motivation and a pleasant learning environment.

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom is a live online language course in which you take lessons together with a teacher and other students. You participate via Zoom or Teams, for example, and actively practice during the lesson. This combines the interaction of a group lesson with the convenience of online learning. Many students choose this form because of its flexibility.
