Course Description:
The morning session focuses on Kichwa oral literature to improve oral comprehension and reading fluency. Each morning we will work with a videotaped origin story, testimony, or ritual song in the Kichwa language. In one way or another these texts deal with the Amazonian social relation to nature and are also be available in written form. The study of vocabulary and grammar will come out of the day’s text. We will also focus on discourse structure and Kichwa literary style. Students will carry our intermediate level guided conversation around the topic of the day. We will also work on the ability to understand Kichwa humor, make jokes and talk about the weather.
The afternoon session with Professor Armando Muyulema and Licenciada Nely Shiguango focuses on conversational Kichwa and grammar. The session will include learning of Kichwa songs, work with difficult grammatical constructions, and exercises to move students forward toward fluency in the kinds of language skills listed on the IRIS evaluation instrument supplied by the USDE. The session will also build the interviewing and language skills need for students to carry out thesis research in Kichwa communities.
In compliance with FLAS eligible Kichwa requirements for intermediate Kichwa this course offers:
-
140 hours of in class instruction over a period of 6 weeks
-
Pre and post course testing assess progress toward the performance goals set forth in USDE IRIS testing instruments.
-
Regular testing leading to letter grades
Required Texts :
-
Dictionary
-
Michael F. Brown, Tsewa's Gift: Magic and Meaning in an Amazonian Society.
Note on the use of the Nuckolls and Swanson 2020: The beginning level Kichwa course moved quickly through this same text so that students would become familiar with the full range of grammatical constructions. The goal in the first year was to form more simple sentences while at the same time be able to recognize the complex patterns passively so as to be able to be able to understand them in texts and speech. Students at the intermediate level are therefore expected to be familiar with these more complex constructions but are not expected to have mastered them. The intermediate course continues working with these same constructions but focuses on increasing habitual fluency in their use.
