Course Details
|
|
The overall goal of the course is to provide students experience at an intermediate level in comprehending extended fluent stories. As in the first course in this series, students will learn to take active and collaborative roles in text and vocabulary analysis, story translation, and sound descriptions. At the end of the course students will be able to follow an extended fluent text in the language without any translation. Student familiarity with vocabulary and structure will be strong enough that they can produce their own, slightly simplified, versions of this more extended text. Students will now be able to approach more extended texts in their language on their own, with confidence and ability. Students will again spend a significant amount of time being mentored in online chat with a fluent elder, and will have a solid foundation in online mentoring methodology.
