Basic Skills
In the Basic Skills module, students learn the foundations of correct language use.
The module teaches all relevant theory and includes an inexhaustible number of exercises, editing assignments and practice tests. The summative language tests from Hogeschooltaal test the Basic Skills. The summative language tests from Hogeschooltaal test the Basic Skills.
Needless to say, the amount of time needed for each module depends on each student’s starting level and on how thoroughly they wish to prepare for their test. Hogeschooltaal is a personalised learning and exercise programme with a database full of exercises. However, experience shows that the average student workload is about 25 hours. Regular maintenance of basic skills takes just a few hours each time.
Writing Skills
The Writing Skills module goes a step further. It goes beyond the basic rules by covering the use of language skills in various text genres. Both during and after their studies, students often have to write a great deal. The courses in this module teach them to write clear, focused texts. Whether it’s a report or an application letter, an action plan or an article, a text must fulfil its purpose adequately.
The courses vary in length. In addition, each course can either be completed very quickly, within a few hours, or it can be extended to a student workload of up to twelve hours. In the latter case, students will not only study the material in each ‘step’ but will also complete the multiple-choice reproduction and application questions, the case study and the final assignment. Experience has shown that the learning effect is greatest when the digital programme is used in combination will well-organised peer feedback, in which students work together to improve the writing products relevant to their studies and projects.
Research and Graduating
Every student in higher education will face it at some point: writing and presenting a thesis. For the majority of students, this means the start of a long series of sleepless nights. That is why we have put a lot of effort into making it easy for the student for the modules Designing a Diagnostic Exam, Writing a Report and Presenting a Report.
