8. How to study? Study goal:
understand a spoken text without help and being able to use the words actively
Study with book + audio CD’s and/or CD-ROM (or online version)
Go through the text:
step by step
first with all help, and gradually less help
4, 5, 6, 7 times …..
1 text takes hours!!
Devote your time mainly to listening, reading and repeating out loud what you hear (not too much on writing)
Begrijp de tekst helemaal!
Stap voor stap met boek + cd
Of boek en cd-rom

10. Steps 1 & 2 Step 1: with text sentence by sentence translation
(repeating out loud)
Step 2: without pauses
Stap 1
Klik nog een keer luister
Luister: hoe wordt het gezegd, de uitspraak is immers belangrijk!
Kijk: kleine woorden die je niet goed hoort, maar die er wel zijn
Hoe zit de zin in elkaar
Ongeveer 16 regels, ½ uur
Stap 2
Is zonder pauzes: begrijp je nog steeds wat er gezegd wordt?
Leer door te lezen, te luisteren en te begrijpen.
Hoe heb je je eigen moedertaal geleerd? Door te luisteren! Veel input is nodig om een taal te leren.

11. Steps 3 & 4 Step 3: without text sentence by sentence
listen and repeat
pay attention to details
Step 4 without pauses

12. Step 5: test After studying the text properly! Listening & writing
> 70-80% correct
Luister en typ
x/x woorden correct
Minder dan 80% is een stap terug

13. Step 6: excercise Same exercise as in the book
Gap fill text + feedback
After having studied the text!
De gaten test doe je pas nadat je de tekst goed kent!
Denk aan een gesprek in een drukke straat: ook al mis je een paar woorden, je kunt toch begrijpen wat iemand zegt. > kennis van de taal
Wanneer je goed gestudeerd hebt, ben je goed voorbereid voor de les. Geen reden voor angst.

14. Preparing for the conversation
Step 7
Preparing for the conversation
After each text:
Questions (vragen)
Speaking (spreken)
Speaking about the text
Summary
Questions in the text

15. Some do’s and dont’s Do not fill in the gap text in the book
Do not write translations IN the text
Do not spend time copying the text
Do not learn the texts by heart
Understanding is not enough: have attention for form, put the text under the microscope!
Use all senses simultaneously: read + listen + speak
Study actively: USE the words, make your own sentences
Play with the text: change the subject/order/…

16. The classes
Learning by doing: Classes are mainly devoted to conversation (not much grammar explanation, but application)
Only Dutch, from day 1
Conversations on topics in the text
Knowledge of the text is essential (one text takes 2-3 hrs to prepare!)
Are fun and interesting
You don’t learn only from speaking yourself, but also from listening to other students
Do participate in the conversation, don’t wait for your turn!

17. Daily listening tests Listening test about each text, after class
Bring your own headphones!
Login: tbm-langXXX, Welkom01 (you will get this from your teacher)
No book, phones, paper etc. allowed (it is an official test and part of your grade)

result 80% or more: next test. Result less then 80%: stop
½ uur de tijd, 80% score.
