Teach in Dutch with confidence
Many classes at Dutch colleges and universities are taught by foreign lecturers, and that happens primarily in English. However, government policies are resulting in a decrease in the number of English-language programmes that are offered and an increase in programmes taught in Dutch.
For teaching professionals from the Netherlands, this is naturally a non-issue, but what if you are not yet proficient in the language?
If you intend to continue working in the Netherlands, being able to speak the Dutch language has significant advantages. This is true not only in terms of employment but also when it comes to feeling even more at home in the Netherlands.
Dutch language courses for teachers from abroad
How do you become proficient enough in Dutch to instruct in the language with confidence? At Regina Coeli, also known as the ‘Nuns of Vught’, we would be delighted to help you get to that point.
Finding a suitable Dutch course is not as straightforward as one might think:
- You need to take a Dutch course alongside your work as a teacher. When would you do that?
- Imagine even trying to find a group of professionals from your field who also all happen to want to learn Dutch ...
- You need to be able to speak in front of a group in an academic setting. That is not exactly a skill that gets worked on at length in Dutch courses.
Regina Coeli’s language training is tailored to your profession, objectives and availability. We design a language programme that suits you to a tee.
