The South Asia Studies Program at SAIS-Johns Hopkins University is offering Urdu language instruction this Fall 2005 semester. Enrollment is open to selected students and professionals in the Washington, DC area. The course meets on Saturday afternoons for twelve weeks. Basic knowledge of the Urdu script is expected to join. We anticipate offering one multi-level (novice and intermediate) course. If there is enough interest, the course will be divided.

The course is designed to develop communicative ability as well as grammatical accuracy. At the Novice level, students develop speaking, reading, listening, and writing skills that vital to perform real-life communicative tasks successfully. At the Intermediate level, students develop ease and confidence in dealing with routine tasks and narrating in major time frames. The ability to understand authentic spoken and written language will be emphasized at both levels.

The instructor, Rubab Quereshi, has taught elementary and intermediate Urdu courses at the University of Pennsylvania since 2002, and pioneered the SAIS-Johns Hopkins Urdu course in spring 2005.
