Course 15 credits • YIDB02
Teaching – spring semester of 2020
The Dean decides
- The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology will temporarily transfer to distance teaching and examination by using the online platform Canvas or the tool Zoom. Exceptions are possible with consideration to e.g. group sizes. The change will occur starting March 18 2020 and will persist until the recommendations relating to the corona epidemic change.
The course allows students to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the grammar and vocabulary of Yiddish and their ability to translate between Yiddish and Swedish. In addition, students train their oral proficiency in Yiddish. The course also aims for students to become familiar with texts from various eras, in both Yiddish and in translation.
Other information This is a distance course. More information, material and exercises will be found at the course homepage on the education platform Canvas. To take part of classes and seminars you will use the video platform Zoom.
