Hindi I introduces students to the language and culture of India and Hindi speaking parts of the world. The overall goal is to develop functional communicative abilities in students to express basic communication needs in culturally appropriate ways. The skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking will be attained by students being exposed to rich authentic linguistic and cultural teaching contexts that emphasize students’ developing competency in Hindi language and culture.
The course objectives include developing communication skills and understanding various aspects of culture. Cultural activities are presented to provide each student with opportunities to enhance language learning in appropriate cultural contexts. These activities include Hindi media, discussion of important Indian and American events, and field trips to local traditional ethnic cultural activities that will familiarize students with perspectives, practices and products of Hindi speaking regions of the world.
