Norwegian 232 is the continuation of the Intermediate Norwegian sequence. In this course, we will focus on three themes as our guide: language, identity, literature, and media. By the end of the course you will:
- develop the ability to speak in longer segments and with better fluency and clearer pronunciation by engaging in conversations, narrating and describing, plus supporting opinion and hypothesizing. You will make presentations to the class, record yourself speaking, have regular conversations with your teacher and other Norwegian speakers
- improve your ability to understand the main ideas in Norwegian spoken at normal tempo by native speakers
- increase your reading speed and comprehension of authentic materials written in Norwegian. You will read excerpts from novels as well as articles from Norwegian websites
- expand your vocabulary and improve your writing about everyday topics from your own experience as well as about Norwegian historical and cultural issues
- improve your grammatical accuracy in both speech and writing
- increase your knowledge of Norway’s culture, both past and present
