VIET 402

Elementary Vietnamese

This is the second course in the Elementary Vietnamese sequence. It is designed for students who have completed VIET 401 or two years of high school Vietnamese. It provides refinement of skills learned in 401. Students will gain increased accuracy and ability to understand and produce appropriate responses in high frequency situations utilizing learned materials. Speaking and writing will be comprehensible to a sympathetic listener. Verbal and written expression will be limited to short, culturally appropriate communication on a broader scale than at the 401 level. Students will acquire a knowledge of the geography, culture and people of regions where Vietnamese is spoken and of Vietnamese-speakers' contributions to North American and world cultures.
