- Class Description:
- The purpose of the Scandinavian 3011 class is to help you improve your reading and writing skills in your primary Scandinavian language and to build a reading knowledge of the other Scandinavian languages. We will read and screen various texts in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, discuss and analyze them, both as a whole class and in smaller groups. You will also write journal entries and short assigned writings, do several in class presentations, and research, revise and polish a 5-6 page semester paper in your primary Scandinavian language. Writing is an integral part of this course with the purpose of articulating your thoughts on the course material. Among the topics and genres the texts in this course will explore are multi-ethnic and multicultural identity, globalization, social satire, crime fiction, news events of the moment, and currents in life, culture and society in contemporary Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Special emphasis will be given to teaching of difficult grammar structures and appropriate vocabulary for articulating thoughts on the given topics. The assignments will be written in your primary Scandinavian language but will explore a topic related to one of the two other Scandinavian countries.
