Intensive Language Programmes
Want to quickly and significantly improve your language proficiency? For example because you need to master a language at a certain level for your job? You can do so with a tailor-made intensive immersion programme.
In a short space of time, you will significantly improve your language skills with:
- A programme fully tailored to your personal learning needs and the context in which you will use the target language
- Full focus on and immersion in the target language
- Private classes with maximum personal attention
- Focus on results with feedback aimed at your development
- Excellent trainers with a solid background in linguistics and communication studies.
Course design and duration
In consultation with you, our lecturers determine which format best suits your questions and wishes. Depending on your needs and what your schedule allows, the course might involve five consecutive intensive days or several intensive days spread over a slightly longer period.
Advantages of intensive language courses
- More efficient than a group course, because you work specifically on your own language goals
- Focus on applying the target language within your own context
- Lots of individual speaking time thanks to one-to-one contact with the trainer
- Flexible programme, in terms of both content and schedule, so that it fits into your work and private schedule
Individually or in a small group
You can take this course on your own, as a duo training course or with a group of colleagues with a similar language level, for example. In addition to how inspiring and fun it can be to learn together, we also offer discounts for groups.
Location
Our intensive programmes take place in one of In'to Languages' modern training rooms in the Erasmus building on the Radboud University campus.
Final evaluation and certificate
At the end of the programme, we will evaluate whether your goals have been met. You will also receive a Radboud in'to Languages certificate. Almost all our participants reach their predefined final objectives.
Content and structure of the course
In consultation with you, we will design a personal programme tailored to your wants and needs, which we will define during the intake interview. Each day consists of a combination of classes, self-study, reflection and making the language your own. You will have plenty of opportunities to practice with language situations relevant to you, such as meetings, presentations, negotiating or teaching, or more informal social conversations.
We will tailor the choice of topics to your needs. Since this is a tailor-made programme, we can also always adjust or add topics during the programme, if necessary.
Our programmes are designed to keep you speaking, listening and thinking about the language you want to learn from the start to the end of every day. You really do get fully immersed. This guarantees that by the end of the week, you will feel comfortable and have the confidence to communicate and work in an environment where your target language is spoken.
Online learning environment
During your training course, you will have access to our online learning environment Brightspace. In this system, you can:
- Track your progress
- Read the notes the teacher makes every day
- Find additional exercises
- View reference material and useful links
- Retrieve any video or audio recordings
The online material can be accessed for up to a year after you complete the course.
