Introductory Zulu introduces both the spoken and the written language, with conversational proficiency as the primary goal. The course emphasizes grammar, oral expression, and listening comprehension, and is designed to give beginning students a practical command of the language. Since communication in a foreign language requires an understanding of the cultural context, our aim is to teach you the living language through carefully selected textbooks, newspaper and magazine articles and other relevant materials, rather than have you repeat and memorize tourist phrases. Over the past twenty years, we have reviewed many university-level Zulu textbooks and have selected one that best fulfills the objectives of our students in the beginning level. Corresponding to the lessons in this book is a complete set of tapes with challenging exercises, which you may borrow for home listening from our Cassette Lending Library.
Teachers provide suggestions for texts and supplementary materials at the higher levels.
