The House will screen prospective students of Dutch in the light of their language skills and academic achievements. In order to gain a better idea of the language proficiency of non-first-language Dutch speakers, joint tests are now being developed with the Adult Education Centres. Once the language skills and academic achievements of those speaking other languages have been assessed, prospective students are referred to the most suitable service. This involves an individual interview reflecting their learning requirements, place of residence, practical opportunities and so on. Prospective students may then enrol with a language institute.
Towards this end, Cornerstone one can be underpinned by the partnership with various language institutes, welcome offices, the Flemish Service for Employment and Vocational Training (VDAB). The Centre has an up-to-date overview of the language courses available from these partners.
Cornerstone one also reports back to the authorities about the language courses organised by the partners. The process of gathering statistics should make it possible to spot any shortcomings. A review is then made with the partners to see what answer to give to the new NT2 questions.
If you are a business or organisation seeking Dutch language courses for staff whose first language is not Dutch, you should get in touch with Gunther Van Neste (the House's Director) or Inge Rogiers (Cornerstone 1 coordinator). We can then work together with you in seeking the most suitable solution. If there is no suitable training available, we and our partners will get together to find an answer to your request.
The Dutch Language House's NT2 consultation group acts as the forum in Brussels for all consultations about guidance, testing, NT2 supply and demand.
