Noncredit Courses

  • RMAN N0101x. Elementary Romanian, I.
    Same course as Romanian W1101, on a noncredit basis.
  • RMAN N0201x. Intermediate Romanian, I.

    Prerequisites: Romanian W1101-W1102 or instructor's permission.

    Same course as Romanian W1201, on a noncredit basis.
  • RMAN W1121x or y. Comprehensive Elementary Romanian. 4 pts.

    This course is designed for students who had no previous experience with Romanian. It will provide those who take it with the basic skills that enable them to communicate at a basic level and will thus prepare the class for the next level of study. As accelerated learning of a language is conceived as a "theater of the mind", the course will rely mostly on in-class activities meant to activate all the four skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) in accordance with the proposed level of performance. The number and quantity of homework will be reduced, so that the students will be "putting" their knowledge and skills to work. They will also be introduced in authentic linguistic environments (places and venues of the Romanian community in NYC, meetings with fellow students who are native speakers etc). This class is the equivalent to classes in the regular RMAN W1101-1102 sequence.

  • RMAN W1221x or y. Comprehensive Intermediate Romanian. 4 pts.

    Prerequisites: Elementary Romanian (I and II), Comprehensive Elementary Romanian, or equivalent, or placement test.

    The course addresses those who have previous knowledge of Romanian and who want to extend their communicative capacities in the language as well as to expand the vocabulary. An accelerated course needs to create a rather theatrical approach where students feel comfortable with their previous knowledge and gain confidence, while working for their B2 level. As many intermediate students partially or completely qualify as "independent users", the course will put their experience to work and focus on real-life communication situations. This class is the equivalent to classes in the regular RMAN W1201-1202 sequence.
