ROMAN 1210 - Elementary Romanian I

Fall. 4 credits.

This is a distance learning course with Columbia University.

M. Momescu.

This is a comprehensive course in elementary Romanian language. The course is taught at Columbia University and delivered to Cornell students via videoconference. The course guides students through the elementary levels of reading, writing, speaking and understanding Romanian. The course aggregates around a “city theme” where students need to perform all the social and linguistic taks required to live comfortably with cultural understanding in a Romanian city. The students do extensive group and pair work, thus developing a comfortable learning routine where they can assess their own progress. There is extensive use of cultural artifacts and media.
