We expect you to:

• Take responsibility for your own learning process. Being curious and learning outside of class is crucial for becoming fluent.

• Do all your homework every time.  If you are in doubt about something, contact a fellow student. Or your teacher.

• Come to school every time. Being a reliable classmate is not only important for your own progress. It´s important for your classmates´ progress too.

• Read in Danish on your own. Find something you are interested in. You need a lot of language input to build your vocabulary.

• Finish the modules on time. Breaks should be taken BETWEEN modules.

• Participate actively in class. Take the initiative to talk to others. Be active during group work. Contribute to everyone´s learning. When doing group work, don´t stop talking when you have done something once. Rather, practice more, improvise further conversation and try to push yourself to doing something a bit more difficult. Use the time fully and take all opportunities to practice.

• Greet classmates in Danish and make small-talk in Danish. 

• Be active in a study group or with a study partner. To progress well, you need to work a lot outside of class. We recommend you to be in a study group with classmates, and you are expected to work with classmates outside of class. We strongly recommend that you can work in Studiecentret as a group.

• Take part in society. Be curious! A curious attitude is crucial if you want to become really good. Find Danish people to talk to, or at least Danish speakers. Make friends! Build a network with people who both learn and who speak Danish . Go to cultural events. Learn about what goes on in Denmark socially, culturally and politically. At your final exam (PD3), you will be expected to know A LOT about Denmark, Danish culture, labour market issues, and on-going political debates. You are not only a student, you are a fellow citizen in Danish society.

IN GENERAL:

• We have high expectations of you! We expect you to become really good at Danish, and we expect you to become active citizens in Danish society.

• Likewise, we expect you to have high expectations of the school and your teachers as well.

  • • • • • sms: 61 13 33 26

IMPORTANT: 

Between each module, there is a test ("modultest)". Students get two attempts to pass. 

If you don´t pass your test the second time, you will be able to continue and finish your Danish education in Danish Education 2. 

If you need to take a break from your Danish education, try to do it BETWEEN modules. Please note, that if you are away during a module, the time you are away will not be given to you again. Talk to you teacher or a councilor well in advance, if you need to take a break from school.
