4 Talenacademie - Koning Willem I College - s- Hertogenbosch Info leerjaar 2 Beste student, Zoals je straks kunt zien op de studiewijzer, is het programma opgebouwd uit 5 vaardigheden: lezen, luisteren, schrijven, spreken en gesprekken voeren. Lesmethode We werken met readers en met beroepsgerichte webquests op MasterEnglish.nl. De oefeningen variëren van dialogen, uitspraakoefeningen en woordtrainingen tot schrijfopdrachten en presentaties. In de taallessen werk je aan je taalvaardigheid om straks aan het einde van dit jaar met succes je examens af te ronden. Dit doe je samen met je docent, zelfstandig en eventueel met de native speaker. Examinering en toekenning studiepunten Examinering vindt plaats aan het einde van leerjaar 2. Het examen bestaat uit een toets Spreken, Gesprekken voeren, Lezen, Luisteren en Schrijven. Elke vaardigheid moet minimaal een 5 zijn. We beoordelen volgens het Europees raamwerk. Dit is een systeem van 6 taalniveaus: A1 - A2 - B1 - B2 - C1 en C2. A1 is het laagste, C2 het hoogste. Het gewenste eindniveau is B1. Per vaardigheid krijg je een cijfer. Compensatie tussen de vaardigheden is mogelijk maar gemiddeld moet Engels minimaal met een 5 worden afgesloten (let wel: je tweede moderne vreemde taal moet dan minstens een 5.5 zijn). De examinering staat los van de te behalen studiepunten. Per periode kun je 1 studiepunt behalen. Het studiepunt krijg je op basis van je inzet, de gemaakte opdrachten en het resultaat van de periodetoets. Tot slot Mocht het zo zijn dat je Engelse taalvaardigheid ver beneden het gewenste niveau ligt dan heb je de mogelijkheid hulplessen te volgen bij een instructeur; meld je daarvoor aan in het OLC van de Talenacademie. Good luck and see you in class! Regards, De docent 4

INTRODUCTION Recruitment refers to the overall process of attracting, selecting and appointing suitable candidates to a job. When you are looking for a job it is helpful to have some means of evaluating the possible options and making a choice. Some of the elements of choice will be easy to make; do I have the necessary qualifications or does my experience match what the employer is looking for? Other questions, of equal importance, may not be that obvious; how will I know if I am going to be happy working for a particular company or in a particular job? The influences that can shape your career choices include; the type of work that you want to do, the organizational environment in which you prefer to work and the rewards and satisfaction that you are seeking. Aspirations and wants are not the same as skills and abilities and as such they may deserve being given separate consideration. In the coming ten weeks you will be studying and participating in all different aspects of the recruitment process, such as writing application letters and CVs and practicing your interviewing skills. Get to it and start building your career! 6
