Minimum Education Level: No Minimum
Description:
During the Grabar language summer classes the following components will be covered every day:
Grammar: Everyday class will cover the main grammatical concepts of the Classical Armenian language.
Vocabulary: During the 9 weeks (54 hours) course it is anticipated that the participants will learn more than 750 new Classical Armenian words.
Listening: The participants will learn Grabar also through listening Grabar through liturgies and poetry. The instructor of Grabar will also speak a lot in Grabar during class so the participants have more interaction with classical Armenian.
Speaking: Participants will be forced to speak Old Armenian and tortured if not, just like in ancient schools. This methodology of language teaching has been productive at all times :) (this is a joke, no one will be tortured, it will even be impossible because the class is online).
Writing: Each day the participants will have writing assignments and homework to complete for the next day.
Reading: Everyday students will read and discuss scriptural, historical, and liturgical texts and poetry also from manuscripts. If requested, the participants will gain the basic skills to read and interpret medieval Armenian epigraphy.
