About the English Lessons "The goal of this course isn't to learn English. You already know English.

The goal is to become confident using it."

*  1st term: Level assessment tests(reading, listening, writing, speaking, conversation) and mandatory assignments

Under exam level -> Buy license and get extra tutoring in class (working with a coursebook)

At or above exam level -> Follow regular programme in 1st and 2nd term to prepare for exams and improve skills. Possibility to take exams after that (from 3rd term, early February).

Exemptions (vrijstellingen) and mandatory (verplichte) assignments

* You can get an exemption if you have already taken English exams and passed them at MBO LEVEL 4, HAVO, or VWO 

* If you have an exemption, you still come to class for the attendance check. After the check, you find a spot in the hallway or canteen,  where you can work on LWPs or other school assignments.

* Almost every LWP contains an assignment for English, which is mandatory for everyone, including those with an exemption!
