3. Programme Contents
The heart of the course part is the diversity in the Dutch culture and its conceptualization (in the present and the past, internally and externally, levelling
and polarising, officially and informally, consciously and unconsciously…). This double diversity is explored by means of all kinds of texts, quotes
and images which are introduced by the lecturer and the students and which are critically discussed during the seminars and/or within the framework
of individual tasks. Subjects which are taken into consideration: social compartmentalization, dealing with the past (including the literary or cultural '
canon'), attitudes with regard to language ( standard language,dialects, related anfd foreign languages) openness and delineation etc.

Prérequis

a. EHSAL's general admission requirements are described in the education and examination regulations.
In order for the students to start their courses in the best possible way, they are expected to have the preliminary knowledge, competences, and attitudes
they acquired in the courses or modules listed below. Students should be able to apply them.
Apart from a tolerable mastery of the Dutch language and a critical eye on the present and the past, no specific competences are required. A large
diversity within the group of students (e.g. concerning mother tongue, nationality, training etc.) is welcomed, because this may contribute largely to the
objective of this course part.
b. The teacher would also like to draw your attention to the following prerequisites:

Dispositif

During weekly meetings given topics are discussed and new ones are introduced. Before each meeting the students go individually in search of answers to
the assigned tasks. Those answers are handed in at the beginning of the tutorials and form the basis for a group discussion. The feedback which will result
from the group discussion can be used for the revision of the answers which will eventually be iincluded in a portfolio.

Evaluation

First exam period
The figure is consists of 4 parts. A quarter of the figure (25%) is stipulated on the basis of tasks which are handed in weekly, at the beginning of the
lesson. The next quarter of the figure is stipulated on the basis of the active collaboration to the groupsdiscussies (25%, continuous evaluation by the
lecturer) The third quarter (25%) is stipulated on the basis of port folio in which the answers to the assignments have been reworked as a result of
feedback by the students and the lecturer. The last figure (25%) is stipulated by means of oral exam during which the lecturer asks questions about
the documents read and the individual portfolio.
