Owner Yolan Witterholt:
After completing my master’s degree in Dutch language, I also obtained the NT2 teaching certificate at Radboud University in Nijmegen in 2007. Although I had been teaching language and writing skills to journalism students and students from various fields for 25 years, the NT2 lessons were a completely new experience for me. In fact, they were incredibly inspiring, because nowhere else can I express my love for language as enthusiastically as I can during these lessons. Dutch is a fascinating language, full of (sometimes bizarre) rules and just as many exceptions. I enjoy the challenge of explaining its complexities to course participants and responding to their critical questions in a clear and satisfying way.

I have worked with Miriam Kerver for many years, so I’m happy that we are now collaborating at TaalGlobaal as well. She is involved in teaching, e-training, and coaching. Coaching is available via email. As the name suggests, e-training courses are delivered by e-mail. Both the coaching and the e-training are intended for participants at level A2 or higher.

Learning Goals

Creating a pleasant and safe learning environment is very important to us, as it helps participants feel comfortable, less inhibited, and more willing to actively use Dutch. Time and again, our experience shows that humor is universal — our lessons often include laughter — but we also take our training seriously. Before starting with a group, we determine the learning objectives together with the client, as well as assess the participants’ current level. This includes an intake in which we determine their language proficiency.
