I can write a formal letter

I can talk in depth about the two books I have chosen for my speaking exam

3. Leerdoelgericht werken

De docent geeft het onderwerp, RTTI geformuleerde leerdoelen en de lesopbouw aan. De docent weet de leerdoelen goed te laten aansluiten bij de voorkennis en het (taal)niveau van de leerlingen. Gedurende de les wordt continu een terugkoppeling naar de leerdoelen gemaakt om de mate van beheersing te controleren.

An application letter is a document that expresses your interest in a position. This document describes your personality and background as an individual and a professional. The purpose is to convince hiring managers that you have the required qualifications and are the best fit for the position.

Application letters enable you to impress potential employers and show them that you're familiar with the organization. It's also an opportunity to express how your goals align with those of the company. 

1: research (before writing)

Application letters must be unique to the company and position you're applying for. Before you begin writing, read the job opening well to understand what the role entails. Your application letter should contain pertinent details about the company to inform a hiring manager you prepared and reviewed information before writing.

2: interest (paragraph 1)

Write an engaging and easy-to-read introduction to capture the hiring manager's interest. Include the job title and where you found the posting. Mentioning your interest in the specific role helps your reader understand that your cover letter isn't a generic or copied template. Include information from the job opening.

3: qualifications and experience (paragraph 2 + 3 )

After writing your introduction, highlight your skills, qualifications and experience in your application letter. Position this section to align with the company's goals. 

4: personality (paragraph 4)

While an application letter should be formal, making it friendly appeals more to your reader. Include aspects of your personality so your reader understands how and why you're a good fit for their organization.

6. Actieve verwerking

De docent maakt expliciet hoe de leerstof actief verwerkt dient te worden. De docent start met modelleren en laat leerlingen vervolgens actief inoefenen. Volgens het 'ik-wij-jullie/jij-wij' principe wordt de ondersteuning geleidelijk afgebouwd. Er wordt gevarieerd in oefentypes en het leerproces wordt zichtbaar gemaakt, bijvoorbeeld met hardop denken opdrachten. Effectieve leerstrategieën zoals zelftesten, gespreid leren, schema’s maken, en samenvatten volgens de Cornell-methode worden expliciet aangeleerd. Dit herkneden van de lesstof helpt bij het bewerken van het lange termijn geheugen
