Proficiency Courses in 

Special Languages and Cultures

 

Series editor: Dr. A. B. Bodomo

 


The series, 'Proficiency Courses in Special Languages and Cultures', is an online initiative by Dr. Bodomo and his postgraduate students to provide the internet surfing community with basic information and facts about how to learn various languages in different parts of the world and the culture associated with them. These are usually languages on which the editor and his team of students work on as part of their technical linguistic analyses. These proficiency projects thus serve as useful spin-offs from the technical linguistic research and could serve as research result dissemination and outreach programmes. They could however in turn serve as real field research data for linguists using the internet to gather basic information about natural languages.

Based on Dr. Bodomo's model of Conversational Learning Community (CLC) for language learning, each proficiency course in the series comprises the following interactive learning modules:

  • Greetings
  • Orthography
  • Number systems
  • Directions
  • Family relations
  • Types of food
  • Body parts
  • Shopping
  • Social situations
  • Travelling
  • the Colour spectrum
  • Flora and Fauna
  • Leisure times
  • common expressions
  • a Bilingual vocabulary list
  • Bibliography of the language and culture concerned

 

The following are on-going and planned in the series:
