Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course serves as a supplement to the advanced Nepali course and focuses on deepening the grammatical knowledge learnt in the main course through intensive study of Nepali literature. The selected texts, which are made available via the Moodle learning platform, offer participants the opportunity to further develop their language skills in a literary context. It is required that all participants bring the printed text material to each lesson to ensure active participation.The course aims to provide participants with comprehensive skills in dealing with Nepali texts. This includes fluency in reading and understanding simple literary works, analyzing content, and a deeper understanding of the grammatical structures used in the texts. In addition, students will be able to write short notes and essays on the topics covered, which will help them to improve their written expression skills. The ability to answer questions about the texts is also encouraged to check and deepen understanding. In addition, participants are familiarised with the subject-specific terms that play a role in the respective subject areas so that they can expand their vocabulary and use it in a targeted manner.Overall, this course offers a comprehensive opportunity to practically apply and further develop the knowledge acquired in the advanced course by systematically introducing participants to the analysis and interpretation of Nepali literature.
