The objective of this course is to achieve proficiency in using spoken Thai in realistic situations and to read and write. Reading and writing exercises will be based on the Maanii Reader and Spoken Thai for the internet. All students will be expected to spend a minimum of 2 hours per week in the language lab starting the second week of classes.
Attendance is monitored by computer.
During the course of the semester we will have weekly quizzes most Fridays covering materials up to that point. Class attendance will be recorded. You will have 5 days of unexcused absences . Beyond that, you will need a written excuse from your doctor, parent, or advisor. Unexcused absences in excess of 5 days will result in a lowering of your final grade one full grade.
