FARS-101 Elementary Farsi I
In this foundational course, students will apply four language skills - listening, speaking, writing, and reading - in order to be able to communicate at a basic level by exchanging, interpreting, and presenting information; to compare Farsi-speaking cultures' practices, perspectives, and products to students' own cultures; to connect the Farsi language to other relevant disciplines; and to begin using the Farsi language outside of the classroom in limited contexts. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in a variety of ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around the theme.
