First-Year Swahili, Second Quarter

Catalog description

Continuation of SWAHLANG 1. This is a five-unit introductory Swahili language course for students with little or no experience studying the Swahili language. The primary focus is on developing communicative skills in Swahili through listening, speaking, reading, and writing basic grammatical structures, with special insight into the Swahili culture. The course emphasizes the development of communicative functionality and competence through active language use; hence, classes will be geared towards real experience in spoken Swahili. This makes class participation an essential component of the course.
