Course Information
Description
In this course, students will develop intermediate-level competence in spoken and written Persian language. Emphasis is on reading, speaking, and writing, as well as cultural and historical knowledge of the Persian-speaking world. We will work with modern Persianate culture, such as poetry and pop music, as well as selections of classical Persian poetry and prose. Knowledge of the grammatical structures taught in the first two semesters is assumed; we will build on these and work toward proficiency in intermediate-level grammar and language functions. Persian will be the primary language of the class with very limited use of English. The prerequisite for this course is Persian AB (Elementary Persian II).
