Het Instituut voor Nederlands Taalonderwijs en Taaladvies (INTT) van de Universiteit van Amsterdam organiseert van 7 – 25 juli 2025 en van 10 september – 3 december een cursus Dutch for Reading knowledge. Onderzoekers en afgestudeerde studenten wereldwijd die geen of weinig voorkennis van het Nederlands hebben kunnen meedoen aan deze online cursus voor het lezen en begrijpen van Nederlandstalige bronteksten.

The Institute for Dutch Language Education offers a Dutch for Reading Knowledge Course for graduate students preparing for departmental reading/translation exams and/or for those who need to read Dutch for their research.

Dutch for Reading Knowledge is a course designed for those who are interested in reading Dutch texts (e.g. modern or 17th c. primary sources). The book that is used in class focuses – amongst other themes – on (art) history, social policies and (post-)colonial Netherlands as well as texts that are provided by the participants. The course does not require any previous knowledge of Dutch.

We are planning a course on location and an online course if there are enough applicants.
