Lecture 5 hours per week.
Students learn to function in the language within a limited context of vocabulary and structure.
The course includes a general introduction to culture. The student will be able to understand short, learned material and some sentence-length content, particularly where context strongly supports understanding and speech is clearly audible. Students will also understand words and phrases from simple questions, statements, high-frequency commands and courtesy formulae. Speaking The student will be able to satisfy partially the requirements of basic communicative exchanges by relying heavily on learned utterness but occasionally expanding these through simple recombination of their elements. Speech continues to consist of learned utterness rather than of personalized, situationally adapted ones.
