What's included
12 live meetings
11 in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. Students will have between 45 minutes to 2 hours of homework between classes on the Ny i Norge website and by practicing words/prounciation and other concepts learned in class. I highly suggest students watch www.nrk.no/tv to see the May 17th celebrations, and find any learner-frendly (age appropriate) Norwegian movies on Netflix, in order to get exposure to hearing the language being spoken outside of class.Class Experience

I will teach using examples on a whiteboard, screen sharing, sharing my experiences and by showing realia. My teaching style is kinestic and I use Total Physical Response (TPR) gestures a lot in my teaching. I encourage interaction from students on the slides, during games, and via discussion. No prior knowledge of the Norwegian language is necessary.
