Course Catalog Description

Students will develop the basic elements of communicative competence in both spoken and written language within a cultural context.

Class Description

This course is for beginners level and aims to build Norwegian language competencies emphasizing practical communication in everyday contexts. Classes meet for three hours of Norwegian instruction per week. Students will work on basic communicative competence in all four foreign language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) within a cultural context. The aim is to enable students to express themselves in Norwegian regarding topics such as hobbies and interests, food, and grocery shopping, family and friends, and everyday life. In this course, we will also explore Norwegian society and popular culture by watching films, reading simple newspaper articles, and engaging with social media to enhance students’ abilities to interact in Norwegian with cultural competence and understanding. Prerequisites: No prerequisites necessary. Cross Campus Enrollment: Students at other UC campuses can join this class online. Norwegian 1A is a Distance Learning Course transmitted simultaneously to specific UC campuses. UCB is the home campus with live class instruction; other UC students will participate through a live video feed. Concurrent Enrollment: If you are not a currently registered student, you may be able to enroll via Concurrent Enrollment, UC Berkeley Extension.
