Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course serves as a supplement to the Advanced Nepali course and focuses on enhancing the communication skills acquired in the main course through interactive study of Nepali literature and communication with each other. Students will have the opportunity to develop their language skills in a literary context through selected texts made available through the Moodle learning platform. Students are required to bring the printed texts to each class to ensure active participation.The course aims to provide participants with a wide range of communication skills. This includes initiating topic related conversation, active listening and comprehension, analysing content, active participation in conversation and a deeper understanding of the grammatical structures used in communication. Students will also be able to give a speech on a variety of topics. Students will also be introduced to the terminology used in each subject area so that they can expand their vocabulary and use it appropriately.Overall, this course provides a comprehensive opportunity to apply and develop the knowledge acquired in the Advanced course by systematically introducing participants to the analysis and interpretation of Nepali communication.
