Intensive Advanced Macedonian
This intensive course is intended for students who have intermediate levels of proficiency in Macedonian (typically 4 or more semesters of study and/or limited experience in country) who wish to firm up their grammatical accuracy and improve their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.
By the completion of this course, students may expect to achieve a proficiency level in the high intermediate or low advanced range. They should be able to read and write in Macedonian with ease, handle complicated situations, and be comfortable communicating at multiple levels of formality. They should be able to write and translate texts in their field, write essays conforming to Macedonian norms of exposition, as well as personal and business e-mail.
To solidify their language and cultural gains, students are also encouraged to take advantage of the summer program in Ohrid.
