Let's discuss
Question 1: What does the author explain in the paragraph about monolingualism as an ideology?

Question 2: Like joie de vivre, is there any word from your mother tongue that cannot be translated into another language?

Question 3: "it’s generally accepted that a translation seldom reproduces the exact sense of the original text; nuances don’t travel well." - Do you agree? Why/why not?

Slide 6 - Mind map

Kijk/luisteren VWO Engels
  • globaal luisteren of kijken: hier mag je de vragen nog niet lezen. Je kijk/luistert naar het fragment, maakt aantekeningen en dan beantwoord je de vragen. 
  • voorspellend luisteren: hier moet je het juiste woord invullen op de plaats van de pieptoon. 
  • selectief luisteren : hier mag je de vragen al wel lezen, dan luister je naar het fragment en vervolgens beantwoord je de vragen 

Slide 7 - Slide

listening/watching tips
  • underline the important words in the answers that indicate what the answer is really about. 
  • If you doubt between two answers: ask yourself which answer was mostly present in the fragment? What is it really about and which aspects were less relevant. 
  • look for synonyms. Sometimes a synonym of a word in the answers is used in the fragment
