This teacher'd guide is designed to accompany an anthology of
Norwegian writings. It suggests a variety of classroom
communication activities for using in work with both pairs of
students and with small groups. 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 companion workbook
(""arbeidsbok"") is also available, offering a comprehensive
grammar review and exercises. It also introduces new constructions
necessary for comprehending and discussing the core selections of
the anthology.
