Course details:

The B1 course has been prepared for people who have completed the Norwegian course at lower intermediate A2 level. Before enrolling in the course, each student is asked to complete a language proficiency test . Its results serve as a guide for the teacher in individual student guidance. In order to more accurately determine the level of the student’s knowledge, it may be necessary to interview the student.

The B1 level course was created as a continuation of the A2 course, also based on the Norwegian language learning program and general social knowledge for adults (Lærerplan and norsk og samfunnskunnskap for voksne ”) established by VOX (Norwegian Agency for Education at the Ministry of Education).

The intermediate-level course focuses the student’s attention on consolidating and expanding the previously acquired knowledge. It includes the study of sentence structures, the increasingly complex expressions of everyday life, as well as learning to read, write and use Norwegian in practice . In addition, the student gets to know better social customs and lifestyle in Norway. Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to participate in routine interviews at an intermediate level. It is also the basis for preparation for the official Norskprøve 3 exam.

The duration of the course (54 hours) listed below covers the number of lessons per course, however mastering the entire material at level B1 may require more time. It is an individual matter.

The estimated total duration of the course is 144 hours (including own work time).
