Intensive Summer Immersion Persian Language and Culture Program (Farsi-Dari)
Unprecedented Opportunity to Learn Persian Language and Culture in a University Setting and Earn 10 Transferable Semester Units
First and Second Semester Elementary Persian Language and Culture courses (5+5 units) are designed to develop proficiency in the fundamental skills of writing, reading, and speaking Persian (Farsi-Dari). Course includes four hours a day of language and culture explorations including the geography, history, and religion of the Persian-speaking countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan). This unique intensive program utilizes innovative and multi-component curriculum to help students achieve their preferred level of proficiency.
Class activities are complimented by additional lectures by visiting speakers, social experiences, films, web, and multi-media Persian. Combined intensive courses are equivalent to one year of language study. The total cost is $800; a total of 10 academic units are awarded to those who successfully complete the two courses. Those who are already at the high intermediate level may join the Persian Studies program during the academic year, to be placed in appropriate announced classes.
The program is open to San Francisco State University and non-SFSU students, as well as professionals, and all others. We are committed to helping students achieve their Persian language and culture goals through an atmosphere of collaboration among our students and faculties.
