[TimorLesteStudies] Advanced Tetun course at DIT, starting 25 April 2016 (Apologies for earlier incorrect date.)

[Catharina Williams-van Klinken]

Dili Institute of Technology is running a week-long advanced Tetun course,
starting on Monday 25th April 2016. Participants may elect to come for the
whole course, or for selected days only. The number of places is limited, so
advance bookings are recommended. Participants require a level of at least
Intermediate Mid to be able to take part. This means they are able to use
Tetun for a reasonable range of topics and contexts, with reasonable
fluency. 

Each day's class will focus on one topic. All classes will also include
instruction on common problem areas in grammar or pronunciation, as well as
homework. The proposed schedule is as follows:


Date

Topic


25/4

Story-telling: referring to participants, showing time linkages,
introductions and conclusions


26/4

Giving instructions, teaching how to do things


27/4

Translation into Tetun: common structural problems. (We will use English
examples, but the same issues arise translating from Portuguese or
Indonesian.)


28/4

Culture: resolving problems informally


29/4

Recognising different types of Tetun;

Maintenance and  repair

 

Classes run from 8.30am to 12.30pm, Monday to Friday, at Dili Institute of
Technology in Aimutin, Dili.

The cost per participant is $120 per week, or $25 per day.

All instruction will be given in Tetun. Written word lists and explanations
as well as translation exercises will use English, so all participants must
be able to understand and read English, but do not need to speak it.

Although the course is aimed at foreigners learning Tetun, we will accept
some native Tetun speakers with good English for the translation session if
we have vacancies.

For bookings please contact Ms Tina Tilman on 7736 9768, or via email on
regis at tetundit.tl. For further information or special requests contact Dr
Catharina Williams-van Klinken on 7724 8459 or via email on
cwvk at livethedream.tl.
