Section Title:
Intermediate Modern Armenian I
Section Info:
The course is aiming to enable students to reach a reasonable level of proficiency in the Armenian language. The curriculum is heavily based on real life situations. Each class session includes a healthy balance of real-life like conversations (shopping, placing an order in a restaurant, asking directions, talking with natives, getting around in the city, banking, etc.), readings (dialogues, jokes, stories, news, etc.) and writings (essays on selected topics, filling forms, etc.). The students can also communicate in Armenian well beyond basic needs about the daily life and obtain some level of fluency in their professional interests. This sequence covers a wider-range vocabulary and more complex grammatical structures in modern formal and colloquial Armenian. Reading assignments also include a selection of simple original Armenian literature. A considerable amount of historical-political and social-cultural issues about Armenia are skillfully built into the course for students who have intention to conduct research in Armenian Studies or related fields, or to pursue work in Armenia. This section is offered through the BTAA Course Share Program and will be taught via video-conferencing/Zoom/online by the University of Chicago.

Section Title:
Intermediate Thai
Section Info:
This course aims to provide deeper knowledge of the Thai language and culture, focusing on developing students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Emphasis is placed on developing a strong intermediate-level understanding of the language through longer dialogues and written paragraphs using Thai script. By the end of the course, students will be able to communicate in more complex paragraphs and dialogues with native speakers about living in Thailand. By the end of this course, students will be able to speak and respond to a variety of topics and culturally-related issues using intermediate vocabulary and grammatical structures. Students will read and explain the main ideas and details in a variety of Thai texts, write short passages and create short dialogues, communicate and react appropriately in various situations based on Thai culture. Topics to be addressed include leisure activities, shopping, public transportation, advice and instructions, relevant cultural differences, and Thai movies and songs. Students will also learn more about various aspects of Thai culture and life in Thailand. The class will be delivered in Thai with minimal use of English which will provide an intensive focus on language practice. Because mastery of the Thai language depends on practice, the evaluation will be based on attendance, participation, and homework in which students will practice what we learn in class. There will also be unit quizzes, a midterm exam, and a final exam to check for understanding. This section is offered through the BTAA Course Share Program and will be taught via video-conferencing/Zoom/online by the University of Michigan.
