Digital resources
The online versions of all Op weg naar Nederland courses are compatible with Mac and Windows, and with the following web browsers:

• Chrome

Op weg - Online uses Flash. This program does not work on tablets and smartphones (i.e. iPhone, iPad and Android).

Onderweg starts at level A1 and ends at level A2. This is the required level for the civic integration exam in the Netherlands.

Onderweg is the follow-up course to Op weg, the civic integration course at level A1.

Onderweg - Online is intended for students who

• have not completed any education higher than secondary education

• know their way around a computer and the Internet

Although the accompanying online exercise program is ideally suited for self-study, it is important to also practice in groups to prepare for the listening and speaking sections of the exam.

Jenny van der Toorn-Schutte
In 1979, Jenny van der Toorn-Schutte was put on the spot as a Dutch teacher: she had to teach Dutch to a group of Vietnamese boat refugees. Fortunately, an interpreter was available for the first few weeks who could explain to her the difference between Vietnamese and Dutch: a tone language versus an inflected language. This experience led her to write Basisgrammatica. At the same time, she took part-time courses at VU University Amsterdam towards a degree in Intercultural Educational Sciences. Later on, she completed a doctorate in Applied Linguistics at Radboud University Nijmegen.

Over the years, she has taught Dutch to many other nationalities, preferably using her own teaching material: Klare taal, Beeldtaal, Andere taal, Nederland voor nieuwkomers, Op weg, Onderweg en Wegwijzer.
