Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Course Description: This course introduces students to basic conversation in Hausa language. Based on the available materials, the course will draw on the idea of conversation gambits, drills, and dialogues. It is intended that by this practical- student-centered approach, students may be able to grasp Hausa language elements that eventually make them functionally proficient enough to appreciate the rich culture and social composition of the Hausa people.

Interested students may also be able to tie this course in with their courses of study in other departments such as Linguistics (for Linguistic comparisons and analysis), Comparative Literature, and English etc. Students intending to go on fieldwork/visits to Hausa speaking parts of Africa such as Nigeria, Niger Republic and Ghana may also find this course extremely useful.

Learning Objectives: To be able to use texts covered in lectures as prompts to talk about oneself, to engage in dialogues, discussions, debates, skits and role-plays; To provide students with the tools to critically and intelligibly talk about the Hausa people of Africa from a literary perspective.

Format of Class meetings: Class interaction will be largely based on, listening, speaking, dialogues, discussions and native - speaker interactions. There will also be photo descriptions, film viewing and analysis for a social-cultural perspective as well as a hint on the various dialects of Hausa. An invite of native Hausa Speaker/s in Vienna for a chit-chat-time could also be arranged.
