Additional Info

Summer 2025
This course effectively runs on a Monday–Friday schedule, beginning Monday, May 12 and ending Friday, August 8, 2025, with the final assignment due Monday, August 11, 2025.

Class time for this course will be divided between asynchronous pre-recorded lectures (1 hour each week), and live classes via Zoom (2 hours each week). Students will begin each week by encountering the language directly through a small set of audio and visual learning materials, supplemented by relevant readings. Students will then view recorded mini lectures and solidify this learning by completing a written exercise and continuing to practice with the week’s language learning materials in preparation for the live class. Live Zoom classes will involve discussions, communicative language learning activities, and brief lectures on special topics.

Live classes will take place on Thursdays, 10:00 am–12:00 pm (Pacific Time). Students who cannot participate due to reasons such as living in a distant time zone will be given access to recordings of the live classes for 48 hrs. As a substitute for breakout room discussions (which will not be recorded), these students will be required to respond briefly to a discussion prompt on a Moodle forum. Please contact the instructor if you are unable to participate in live sessions.

Fall 2025
This course is available onsite and online. Students must register for the online section to gain Zoom access to the course.
