[ANU Pacific.Institute] Tok Pisin Language and Cultural Awareness 5–9 May

[Darja Hoenigman]

Dear All,

We've got a few places left in the upcoming offering of Tok Pisin Language and Cultural Awareness short intensive course 5–9 May (with a meet-and-greet session on 2 May). I'd really appreciate it if you could spread the news about it in your networks or pass this information on to anyone who you think might be interested.

Tok Pisin Language and Cultural Awareness is a short intensive course that combines basic language learning with deep cultural awareness training. The course goes on for 4 days (+ 1 day for assessment) and is offered online, with 5-6 hours of face-to-face classes per day. Morning sessions start with language and then gradually turn to discussions about the issues that prove to be most challenging to foreigners who come to Papua New Guinea. Course materials include video-footage of real-life situations, which form a basis for discussions. After the daily class, participants watch a film (carefully chosen high-quality observational documentaries showing real life), do some language exercises and read a few chapters as preparation for the next day – all of which contributes to their immersion in aspects of PNG life and culture.

The course is designed in a way that would suit any researcher, professional or volunteer who is about to begin a period of work in PNG.

Please see below for more details, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
