This workbook is designed to accompany an anthology of Norwegian
writings. It provides a comprehensive grammar review and exercises,
while also introducing new constructions necessary to comprehend
and discuss the anthology's core selections. Intended primarily to
complement ""Norsk, Nordmenn, og Norge"" the most widely used
Norwegian text in the United States, the anthology may also be used
independently and offers a lively, diverse collection of Norwegian
writings for the intermediate-level student of Norwegian. High
schools universities, or adult classes will find that the various
stories and exercises provide a flexible text to meet their
differing needs. Writings by Norwegians for Norwegians are grouped
into three sections that allow the student to receive a hands-on
approach to ""bokmal"" (Norway's standard language). The first
section provides core readings that gradually grow in length and
complexity, including stories, songs and dramatic sketches on
themes ranging from romantic relationships and travel complications
to women's rights and environmental issues. A second section on
cultural background explores Norwegian geography, immigration to
the United States, Germany's World War II occupation of Norway, and
contemporary social issues in Norway. Students will find the third
group of writings a useful start to expanding their use of
Norwegian: selected texts are repeated in ""nynorsk"" (Norway's
second official language), ""riksmal"" (the older form of the
language), various Norwegian dialects, Swedish, and Danish, to
demonstrate how minor adjustments in reading skills can make a
wider range of writings accessible to the student. Bound by no
single philosophy or teaching method, the anthology allows
instructors to use their own approaches, while offering a range of
specific suggestions for those who desire more structure. The
anthology's eclectic character, introductions to selected Norwegian
authors, vocabulary lists, and maps provide opportunities for
discussing Norwegian history, culture, geography and literature.
Cartoons, jokes, charts, directions, illustrations, maps, and a
tourist brochure add variety to the readings. A teacher's guide
(""laererveiledning"") is also available, offering suggestions on a
variety of classroom communication activities for both pairs and
small groups.
