* PNJB 130a, Intermediate Punjabi I  Staff

The important target of this course is to develop basic Punjabi Language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking).  This is approached through the theme-based syllabus, discussion in small groups and paired activities on the cultural background of Punjab or Punjabi culture.  As well as, the listening and speaking skills would be developed by using the media such as educational material, Punjabi movies, music and computer lab sessions.  The usage of the textbooks would lead us to learn grammatical rules of the Punjabi language.  The students are approached individually, since the class typically consists of students in the various backgrounds.
