What You'll Learn
Writing:
Intensive practice writing grammatically correct exam sentences and assignments. We spend most of the training on this, because you have written relatively little in the Delft Method.
Speaking:
In the B1 speaking exam, your answers must be short and grammatically correct. We’ll practice with exam sentences and questions.
Reading:
After completing the Delft Method, you’ll have extensive reading experience. In the training, you’ll learn to carefully read and answer multiple-choice exam questions.
Listening:
Delft Method students have extensive listening experience and understand well. In the training, we practice reading carefully and choosing the correct multiple-choice answer for the difficult exam questions at B1 level.
KNM (Knowledge of Dutch Society) is not included in the training, but you’ll receive practical guidance on how to approach this component effectively.
