Course syllabus
Welcome to the course "Basic Swedish as a Second Language I (level A.1- A2.1)" at Dalarna University!
This course is based in Falun with most of your seminars taking place on campus. Occasionally, recorded material will be offered via our learning platform. This semester you will also get the possibility to attend some extra Zoom sessions (optional) together with students studying the same kind of course online.
During this course you will have the opportunity to learn basic Swedish and develop your perceptual and productive skills in the language in simple, predictable situations. You will study, amongst other things:
- basic principles of pronunciation in Swedish
- elementary Swedish vocabulary
- Swedish elementary grammar structure
We see the group work as an important resource in all course activities, made evident by the feedback of previous participants of the course who have highlighted the value of working in groups around interactive exercises as well as around texts, Swedish vocabulary and grammar.
The work around language does not stay in the classroom though. We therefore hope that you also take the chance to actively try using the language in your meetings with Swedish speakers outside the school environment.
The (preliminary) schedule, see: Schema/Schedule GSS3BG Ht25 (or this document: GSS3BG SIS 1 Schema Falun Ht25-3.doc In case of any changes in theschedule you will get information here on Canvas.
