WLC-111 | Beginning Dakota I (4 Credits)

Instructors: Raine Cloud, Joshua Dunn, and Anke al-Bataineh

WLC 111 is designed for students with little or no previous knowledge of the target language. This course is designed to present and reinforce the four basic language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing and all of the modes of communication (interpretive, interpersonal, and presentation). We follow the World Readiness Standards and incorporate communication, culture, connections, comparisons, and community in all classes. We have an emphasis on justice and sustainability, broadly understood, in all of our courses. We also emphasize intercultural communicative competence in all of our courses. We want to get to know the cultures,
history, and peoples who speak the target language around the world and in the United States and know how to interact with them in appropriate ways. In the end, we hope this course helps develop curious and courageous global citizens.

We find inspiration in the mission and goals of the Concordia Language Villages.

A courageous global citizen lives responsibly by:

Appreciating and seeking to understand diverse cultural perspectives

Communicating with competence and cultural sensitivity in multiple languages

Respecting human dignity and cultivating compassion

Engaging critically and creatively with issues that transcend boundaries

Advancing a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world for all

Classroom instruction will be mostly in the target language in order to promote higher levels of proficiency and students will be expected to respond back in the target language. This class is flipped, meaning you will be required to learn some basic concepts outside of class so we can practice communicative skills together in class.
