Intermed Hindi II

Catalog description

This sequence is focused on the development of the four skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) and is based on the integration of content, culture and language. Students perform in the three modes of communication as they explore products, practices, and perspectives of the diverse Hindi speaking communities and their culture(s). Students learn more complex grammar and vocabulary through class- and small-group activities, text- and film-based, individual and team projects. They learn to express themselves on topics related to the community and the world, and thus meet functional performance goals at this level and are equipped for continued life-long language learning. Students perform consistently in the Intermediate range while a few abilities may emerge in the Advanced range, especially in the case of Hindi heritage language learners. Prerequisite: Intermediate Hindi I ( MEIS-UA 407 ) or equivalent.
