An experimental Course in Swahili
Washington DC: Foreign Service Institute, 1965. First edition. Softcover. Quarto. 312 (30)pp. Manila folder with handwritten title on cover with hole-punched mimeographed paper bound onto metal clasps. Experimental language course assuming that students can hear sounds and perceive structures best without knowing the meaning, are unable to thrive for long without knowing the meaning, learn most quickly if linguistic forms are not merely 'known' but 'vividly' experienced through personalization and localization of vocabulary, if they are required to assume definite responsibilities as opposed to merely following instructions, and experience has shown that it is wise to assign one student to coordinate matters and field questions. Ample Swahili examples with English instructions for proceedings. Previous owner's name on title page. Light fraying of title page at fore edge. Binding rubbed. Binding and interior in overall good condition. g. Item #35990
