Accelerated First-Year Persian, First Quarter

First part of an accelerated first-year sequence. PERSLANG 1A and 1B complete the first year in two quarters rather than three quarters. Fulfills the University Language requirement. Goal is to engage in interactions with Persian speakers using socially and culturally appropriate forms. Emphasis is placed on the accelerated development of language proficiency, listening comprehension, reading, and writing skills through conversational practice and in-class/online writing activities. Discussion of culture and social life is integrated into daily language learning activities through authentic materials. Students will be interacting and integrating different aspects of language and culture live and virtually.
