Class Description:: This course is designed to refine advanced students' skills in oral and written expression in Finnish. Advanced grammatical constructions characteristic of written Finnish will be explored via newspaper articles and short stories, with time spent analyzing the constructions together in class. Each student will also get the chance to provide an oral news summary of some current event in Finland every other week. The majority of class time will center around class discussion, giving students plenty of speaking practice. There will be three essays, three take-home exams, and a final class presentation on some aspect relating to Finnish culture.
