  • SWAH 3120 - Advanced Swahili 2


    The second of a two-semester series of advanced Swahili. Intended for students who have completed two years of Swahili or equivalent. The class focuses on discourse Swahili and rhetorical devices as used in East Africa by Swahili speakers. Little attention is paid to grammar, but some aspects of grammar may be taught if the students identify problematic areas they would like to review with their instructor. Students study Swahili literary texts from East Africa and are able to engage in discussion on complex issues and topics. The background on Swahili culture is handled through the eyes of various authors as well as contemporary sources such as newspapers, movies and audio clips. In addition, different registers of Swahili are introduced with an aim of empowering students to be functional in a variety of communicative contexts. The course also emphasizes on practical application of Swahili in the learner’s field of study. To accomplish this, vocabulary and terminologies of various disciplines are also introduced. At this level, students should begin using Swahili for academic purposes. In other words, they should be able to read literary texts (novellas, dramas, poetry and short stories), listen to Swahili news on the radio, make presentations in Swahili as well as write factual and fictional essays.
