Is this course for me?
This course is for people who are learning or (more or less) know Norwegian, but don’t have it as their mother tongue. It is best suited to beginners (A1/A2 level) and intermediate users (B1/B2). One language skill in particular tends to be at a lower level than the other skills: pronunciation.
Is it a problem? In many cases – not… but often: yes. Living in a foreign country and gradually turning into a local person is not easy. Due to conscious and unconscious prejudices, foreign accent here definitely does not help, particularly in a job context.
Good pronunciation needs practice: reading instructions, listening and reading out loud. And then, once again. And then repeat until it sounds satisfactory!
NorFon is the right place to do that!

Ønsker dere å organisere et kurs i norsk uttale?
Ferdig læreropplegg til uttalekurs
Vi har et ferdig opplegg som består av presentasjoner for 16-20 skoletimer med flere hundre lysark. Lærerveiledning med mange forslag til aktiviteter i klasserommet til hver undervisningsbolk og tips om uttaleundervisning følger også med. Materialet fra opplegget kan med stort hell også inkluderes i generell norskundervisning. Dersom det er ønskelig, kan vi også arrangere kurs i uttaleundervisning.
Tilgang til opplegget koster 6000 kroner i året per lærer (ved flere enn 10 lærere er det lavere pris), og det kan brukes i kombinasjon med elevressursen NorFon til lekser.
Læreropplegget har allerede vært i bruk ved voksenopplæringa i Oslo kommune i to år.
Se gjerne denne videoen om læreres erfaring med bruk av metoden.
Skriv til snorre@valodumaja.lv hvis dere ønsker lærertilganger eller mer informasjon om opplegget.
