Intensive Beginning Swahili in Kenya

Intensive Beginning Swahili is a 6-week summer abroad course for students who have no prior proficiency in Swahili language. The course is taught in Kiswahili and focuses on acquiring novice-level skills to perform basic communication functions in the culture of Swahili speakers. Instruction is through in-class and experiential activities that enhance the skills of observing, listening, reading, writing, and speaking about what learners encounter on a day-to-day basis. Students who complete SWA 103 in Kenya will be able to test out of SWA 101 and SWA 102 and eligible to enroll in SWA 105 when they return to campus in the fall.
