Description

The Oldenborg Center offers the equivalent of one full year of Swahili instruction, spread out over four semesters, through the Self-Instructional Language Program (SILP). This program combines independent student study of selected texts and audio-visual materials with formal conversation and drill sessions on site. An off-site instructor designs the course and undertakes student assessment. Students spend two contact hours per week in class sessions at Oldenborg with a native speaker coach. Courses are 0.5 credit, P/NC. Attendance at the coaching sessions and at Oldenborg language tables is mandatory; the course includes a midterm, final and oral exam.
