Course Information
Description
Individualized study of the Georgian language at the Intermediate level. Conducted as a tutorial. A two semester intermediate course in modern Georgian language and culture, designed for students with previous knowledge who would like to speak Georgian or use the language for reading and research. All four major communicative skills (speaking, listening comprehension, reading, writing) are stressed. Students are exposed to Georgian culture through work with film, journalism, and literature as they learn to use the language both as a means of communication and as a tool for reading and research. GRGN Br over two semesters satisfies the foreign language requirement if needed and counts toward a citation in Georgian. The intermediate level prepares students for continued study of Georgian in advanced-level courses and for study or travel abroad in Georgia.
