Accelerated First-Year Persian

First part of the accelerated first-year sequence. AMELANG 44A and 44B 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 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 and students will be interacting and integrating different aspects of language and culture live and virtually.
