Class Description:
This course is for students with no prior and/or very limited language/literacy background in the Hmong language. This course will set the foundation of learning the Hmong language for any student with no prior and/or very limited language/literacy background in Hmong. The course emphasizes the individual learning styles and preferences of each student. Instruction is oriented towards using best practice methods to help students learn and retain information in order to use the language effectively. All the aspects of linguistic performance: speaking, reading, writing and listening would be given roughly equal consideration. Using essentially a communicative-interactional teaching methodology, supplemented with appropriate grammatical details, the students will be, systematically and incrementally, introduced to materials that will enable them to acquire cultural and linguistic literacy about Southeast Asia, the Hmong community in particular. OBJECTIVES It is expected that the students understand all materials before coming to class to fully participate in the session. In this class students will, 1) be introduced to basic reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills using the Hmong Romanized Phonetic Alphabet (RPA) 2) have ample opportunities to strengthen one's ability to communicate and negotiate meanings in everyday Hmong at the inter-personal level in the classroom, at home, and/or out in the community; and, 3) be able to increase knowledge of vocabularies and work on fluency through select topics. The course will be taught utilizing lectures, reading and writing practice, projects, basic dialogues, group discussions, and class exercises as well as online practice sessions. SOME OF THE TOPICS COVERED IN THIS SEMESTER: 1. A brief introduction to the history of Hmong RPA 2. Alphabets and linguistic specifications 3. Grammar rules, parts of speech and syntax structures 4. Greetings and common phrases 5. Vocabularies of the self, school, and the workplace
