Intermediate Urdu II

(4 Credits)

This sequence is focused on the development of the four skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) through class- and small-group activities, text- and film-based, individual and team projects in the three modes of communication. Students accomplish real-world communicative tasks in culturally appropriate ways through Urdu as they explore products, practices, and perspectives of the Urdu culture(s). Students learn more complex grammar and vocabulary to enable them to meet functional performance goals at this level and to equip them for continued life-long language learning. Students perform consistently in the Intermediate range while a few abilities may emerge in the Advanced range, especially in the case of Urdu heritage language learners. Prerequisite: Intermediate Urdu I ( MEIS-UA 303 ).
