Ecuadorian Kichw 1-2    Syllabus                                                                                Quichua Language Learning Resources

June-July  2019   78 classroom hours.

 

Instructors:

Dr. Janis Nuckolls, Brigham Young University

Dr. Tod D Swanson, Arizona State University

Dr. Armando Muyulema, University of Wisconsin Madison

This course introduces graduate students to the Kichwa language and moves them toward fluency as quickly as possible.  Morning classes present basic grammar and vocabulary thematically dealing with broad topics such as "self and other," "space and time."  Exercises are geared to teach the performative language skills needed to carry out research or other kinds of work with Kichwa communities. Throughout the course Kichwa language is used as a window into Kichwa culture and worldview.   To this end the afternoon features a lecture on some aspect of Kichwa Humanities usually related to language, poetry, oral literature, or the arts using video examples in Kichwa.  Following the lecture students engage in discussion with native speakers on the topic of the lecture.  Because the graduate students taking the course tend to be highly motivated but at varying levels of competence an effort is made to individualize instruction often tailoring language instruction to the research topic or needs of the student.
