Linguistics 19 Syllabus

PURPOSE: Speaking conversational Polish.

MATERIAL ASSIGNED:

Alexander M. Schenker, Beginning Polish, vol. 1 (BP)

LL Call No.: PG/6111/S3 (2 vols)

RESTRICTION: None

MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF CREDIT AVAILABLE: 6 units

METHOD OF STUDY:

For each Lesson in BP, learn to understand and pronounce the ZDANIA (sentences) section in the following manner.

1. Listen to the entire dialogue while following the English translation in the book to tell you what the foreign sentences mean.

2. Listen again, stopping the tape after each sentence and repeating after the speaker. You may glance at the foreign transcription to help you with details in the pronunciation.

3. Listen and repeat each sentence several more times. Avoid reading the written Polish.

4. Read each sentence in English and try to produce the Swedish translation without looking in the book or listening to the tape. Check yourself against the tape.

5. Say the sentences of the dialogue along with the speaker on the tape again and again until you can produce the foreign sentences easily and quickly given only the English ones as cues.

You may want to study other sections of the text, but they are not part of the course and will not be tested.

EXAMINATION:

Supervisor says the English version of sentences chosen at random from conversations in the assigned material; the student says the Swedish equivalent. The grade is based on both fluency and accuracy.
