Vietnamese Heritage Speakers I

Catalog description

VIET 0120 is the first part of a two-semester introductory course for students with some prior knowledge of Vietnamese language. The course aims to enhance linguistic accuracy (spelling, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, tones) and fluency (conversational skills, narrative structure, discursive practice) in both spoken and written Vietnamese. Synchronous and asynchronous activities will include projects, and students are required to work collaboratively. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to express themselves more accurately and confidently and participate in Vietnam-related communities in a more meaningful way. Students will also gain a basic knowledge of Vietnam’s history and culture. Vietnamese is the language of instruction with the exception occasional quick explanation in English.
