This course introduces learners to Swahili vocabulary and grammar. These are used as the foundation for promoting the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Emphasis will be on promoting the learners’ ability to express themselves, describe their daily experiences and engage in basic conversations. Although East African texts (reading passages, music and poems) will be used to promote learners’ understanding and appreciation of Swahili language and culture, non East African texts in Swahili might be sparingly used to achieve certain objectives. While the main focus of the course will be on enriching the students understanding of African culture through the learning of Swahili, students are expected to relate the Swahili culture with their everyday experiences. Learners will be involved in a semester long portfolio project comprised of biographical information about their everyday activities, or activities of other people, whether actual or fictional with an intention of applying all aspects of the materials covered in class.

SWAH 5120 - Elementary Swahili II
This is the second course of two-semester first-year sequence. SWAH 5110 is a prerequisite for students who wish to enroll in this course. A continuation of where we left off in the fall quarter in covering the different types of nouns in Swahili. By now, students will have covered all the noun classes and will begin to see their relevance to various aspects of Swahili grammar. It will become clear that once you know the class of noun in question, the grammar can easily be derived from a consistent pattern. Learners will also broaden their vocabulary and they will be able to engage in more complex dialogues. Although some dialogues will be tailored to accomplish grammatical ends, we will also do dialogues for the sake of it in order to promote confidence in oral communication. Learners are encouraged to pay attention to the way the sample dialogues are structured and try to model their dialogues along similar lines. Learners are encouraged to test your skills to the limit without focusing too much on grammatical mistakes. The best language learners are the adventurous people who are willing to test anything they have learned, even when they do not do it correctly. In addition, listening tasks and labwork will be assigned to ensure that students are increasing their knowledge of Swahili. Some time will be set aside to do pronunciation drills to ensure that learners get their pronounciation right. To promote reading skills, the instructor will introduce some basic Swahili booklets to be used as class readers. Attempts will also be made to invite classroom guests who will speak in Swahili in order to give learners a chance to listen to accents other than their instructor’s. A lot of the classroom exercises will involve conversation with a colleague. Attempts will be made to ensure that students speak with different people in each speaking task. Finally, updating of portfolio will continue. Material from new topics must be integrated into the students’ portfolio in a creative way.
