FSI. Swahili An Active Introduction. Geography

Description

Издатель/Автор: Foreign Service InstituteГод: 1966Количество страниц: 139Based on materials supplied by John Indakwa, Daudi BallaliOrganized and edited by Earl W. Stevick Marianne Lehr, Paul G. ImhoffIn the summer of 1965, the Foreign Service Institute produced for Peace Corps use an Experimental Course in Swahili. The distinctive feature of that course was its 'microwave' style of lesson organization, which emphasizes communicative use of each structural element as soon as it appears. Subsequent experience in a number of Peace Corps training programs as well as at the Foreign Service Institute has led to extensive revision and supplementation, and to division of the one course into two.The subject matter of this booklet is taken from geography. A person who begins with no knowledge either of East African geography or of Swahili grammar will end the course knowing the rudiments of both.The companion booklet, An Active Introduction to Swahili: General Conversation,may be used before this one, or after it, or concurrently with it. Both have been produced with financial support from the Peace Corps.The supervising linguist for the project was Earl W. Stevick, assisted by Marianne Lehr and Paul Imhoff. Swahili materials were supplied and checked by John Indakwa and Daudi Ballali. Mr. Indakwa also supervised instruction in one of the principal training programs in which the Experimental Course was first used.The Institute wishes to thank the many persons who, through their criticisms and corrections of the Experimental Course, have contributed to the improvement of the present version.
