Swahili III

Education facts

Code: AF1213

The course constitutes a direct continuation of AF1210. In the course, your reading ability in Swahili is developed through the study of simple authentic texts provided with comments, glossaries and sound recordings. Your active vocabulary is expanded by about 500 words and phrases. Furthermore, word formation is studied to facilitate passive understanding of unknown words. Communiaction is practiced through practical application of frequent constructions. Translation skills are developed further, mainly from Swahili, but also into Swahili. The linguistic knowledge of the Swahili language is increased in both phonology, grammar and sociolinguistics, partly through the study of some simple scholarly articles. The theoretical focus of the course is on Swahili morphosyntax.
