Dutch as a second language – individual course on SLX

Do you want to improve your Dutch language skills as effectively as possible? And do you want to learn (partly) online? If so, follow a Dutch language course on our Social Learning eXchange (SLX) platform. Social learning – learning with and from each other - is an important aspect of this course. 

Why social learning? 

Studies have shown that you learn most through social interaction and in practice. Charles Jennings introduced this in his 70:20:10 model. However, this is not reflected in many training courses.  

But it is in our training courses on SLX. Learning in practice and through social interaction occupies an important place in this Dutch training course. We have designed our online platform to stimulate and guide social interaction during the learning process and encourage you to put skills straight into practice. This leads to demonstrably better retention. 

Always tailor-made, even online 

We specialise in tailor-made courses. Each course is designed according to your wishes. The training content is tailored to your level, business and learning goals. 

A Dutch training course in practice 

This Dutch training course consists of three parts: 

1. E-learning at your own pace 

You will view content such as videos or podcasts, and do exercises on the platform. You’ll also have a personal mentor, who will follow your online progress during the course and help you where necessary. 

2. Lessons with a trainer (online, in-company or at one of our offices) - 13 hours 

The e-learning will be combined with sessions with a trainer. There is a one-hour introductory session followed by six two-hour sessions spread over the course. In these sessions you will have the opportunity to practise your skills, discuss any difficulties you may be having with the e-learning, and look at subjects in more depth. 

3. Social learning: learning from fellow students and from a mentor 

3a. Learning in practice and from each other 

Social learning is partly done on-the-job. We stimulate this by giving you concrete assignments.  

You will then share your experiences on our online platform. Your mentor and fellow students will give you their feedback and you can give your feedback on their cases. Giving and receiving focused feedback is proven to help you master the material more quickly. In this way our platform stimulates you to learn with and from each other. 

3b. Learning from a mentor – 6 hours 

Each student has a mentor with specific professional expertise in their particular field. The mentor will monitor your progress online, give feedback on practical assignments and answer questions. You can also schedule mentoring sessions with your mentor, for example to discuss documents or practical cases. 

Continue independently 

Completed all the sessions with the trainer and used all of your mentoring hours? There are still various activities on our platform for you to do and you will continue learning independently and with your fellow students. Your SLX subscription is valid for 6 months from the starting date of the course.
