Good language and study skills are crucial for success in higher professional education. However, many students lack these essential skills, such as sufficient language proficiency, independent work, planning, and text comprehension. The book "Swift Start in HBO" offers a unique combination of essential language and study skills, which forms a strong foundation for a successful higher professional education program.
This book covers various topics such as motivation, planning skills, and reading strategies. It also addresses writing skills, note-taking, and mind mapping based on brain-friendly learning. Students learn how to work efficiently, develop an active and reflective study approach, and address any language deficiencies. Each chapter contains theoretical explanations, practical tips, tests, and engaging assignments that can be used both individually and in class. All chapters can be studied and completed independently. Answers to the book assignments and references to additional resources can be found on the accompanying website of Snelle Start in het HBO (Short Start in HBO) .
This book is ideal for all first-year university of applied sciences students, as well as for vocational students (MBO) and pre-university education (HAVO) students who want to transfer to a university of applied sciences. Jenny van der Ende, a language and study skills teacher in the Social Work program at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, is the author. She has extensive experience as a teacher at ROC Mondriaan in The Hague and previously wrote the book "Alle Taal" (All Language) (Thieme Meulenhoff) in 2012.
