Course Description
This course develops the skills obtained either from the Beginning Tamil
course or from students' prior exposure to Tamil by some other means. Basic
knowledge of Tamil script, reading and writing in Tamil is required to take
this course. Heavy emphasis will be made on using the language in actual
environments both in spoken medium and in written medium. Multimedia
materials such as audio and video facilities from the book and the website
Tamil Language in Context (http://www.southasia.upenn.edu/tamil) will be used
extensively to provide students an exposure to the Tamil culture and customs
as followed in Tamilnadu, India. Besides improving their speech and writing,
students will also be introduced gradually to Tamil literature, which has two
thousand years of literary history. The learning process in this course will
be facilitated by the lessons and videos as provided in the website and the
book. By the end of this course, students will have ACTFL's intermediate mid
level proficiency in Tamil.
