This 14-hour online course is designed primarily for Heritage Learners of Haitian Creole, or Haitians of the Diaspora, who have some prior knowledge & understanding of, or exposure to, Haitian Creole but have never received any formal training in the language. Students will be guided through core language skills (speaking, reading, writing, and listening comprehension) within a Haitian cultural context. Focus will be placed on dispelling myths about the language, establishing a core foundation in Standard Haitian Creole, and issues of identity as they relate to language learning. At the end of this course, students will be able to comfortably navigate a conversation in Kreyòl, while engaging in the written form of the language at a basic level. Core concepts regarding grammar and other aspects of language structure will be covered. Several courses sessions will be supplemented by multimedia resources, online videos, and other culturally relevant materials online. Course sessions will be a mix of synchronous and asynchronous activities. All relevant course materials will be provided by HCLI. Course will take place entirely online. A computer or smart device with a reliable internet connection will be needed to attend this course. This course requires a full commitment on the part of the students who will be expected to complete scheduled assignments and independent review.
