Norskprøve courses

Velkommen til Norge!

Whether you are already in Norway or thinking about moving here, your journey to learn Norwegian starts at Alfaskolen.

Norskprøven is a series of exams at different levels and best suited for foreign residents who need to demonstrate “adequate knowledge” of the Norwegian language (for example for permanent residence or for citizenship).

This course is for students who wish to prepare for a Norwegian public exam or feel the need for repetition of the material covered in levels A1 and A2 and wish to prepare themselves for the next level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The course includes the following topic areas:

• working life, economy and resources
• the family
• in the city and the countryside
• daily life
• housing and personal economy
• school and education
• the welfare state and human rights
• food and health
• immigration, emigration, culture and traditions
• the media

In this course you will get an insight into the various exam tasks as well as strategies to tackle these. Practice solving the exam tasks in our language lab, using a program developed specifically to help you prepare for the Norwegian language proficiency test. Develop your language skills of speaking (muntligprøve), writing (skriveprøve), listening (lytteprøve) and reading (leseprøve). Get feedback from your teacher on your written and spoken performance. Build vocabulary within the relevant topic areas.

You will also repeat and strengthen your knowledge and understanding of the following areas of grammar:

• The tense system and ways of talking about the past, the present and the future
• Expressing your opinion using the verbs tror, synes and mener
