Description

Module descriptionÌý

The module aims to: build on and improve students’ existing language skills, taking students up to a level of near-native proficiency in all four language skills: speaking, understanding, writing and reading; enable the students to express themselves in clear, concise, coherent, fluent, and linguistically and grammatically correct Danish.Ìý

A high level of student autonomy will be expected, and the module will to a large extent consist of students’ own work. Weekly assignments to be completed at home will be given and the feedback to these will constitute an essential part of the work of perfecting students’ language competence.Ìý
