Haitian Creole in Context @ WikiEdu

thumbnail
thumbnail
This course introduces students to the language of Haitian Creole, also called Kreyòl, and is intended for students with little or no prior knowledge of the language. Haitian Creole is spoken by Haiti's population of nine million and by about one million Haitians in the U.S. including over 190,000 in the New York City area. In fact, New York City has the second largest population of Kreyòl Speakers after Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. Through this course, you will develop introductory speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills. We use a communicative approach, balanced with grammatical and phonetic techniques. Classroom and textbook materials are complemented by work with film, radio, and especially music (konpa, rasin, twoubadou, rap, ragga, levanjil, vodou tradisyonèl, etc.), as well as with visits to city museums and other institutions related to Haiti.
