Ecuadorian Quichua 1-2 Afternoon Syllabus
June 2016 78 classroom hours.

This course combines a thematic with a more pragmatic approach to the study of Quichua. The morning classes present the Quichua language thematically dealing with broad topics such as "self and other," "space and time." By contrast, the afternoon class is organized pragmatically around learning practical performative skills. In this class grammatical constructions are presenting in whatever order is needed to facilitate rapid acquisition of performance goals. Hence it may occur that a morning class serves as a review, deepening understanding of a construction already introduced more quickly for pragmatic reasons in an afternoon class.
Objectives: On completing this class the student should be able to
1.Make social introductions, use greeting and leave-taking expressions.
2.Talking about spatial movement so as to be able to ask or give directions on how to get from one place to another.
3.Ask and answer simple questions about date and place of birth, nationality, marital status, occupation,
4.Make basic living arrangements such as renting a room or calling a taxi.
5.Be able make social introductions and use greeting and leave-taking expressions.
6.Buy needed items in a store.
7.Be able to understand simple sentences on these topics performed at normal speed by native speakers.
