This class is designed to help students sharpen their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills at an advanced level so that they will be able to make themselves understood by native speakers while using proverbs, historical references, common idiomatic expressions, and even simple jokes. To do so, students will explore the archives of Radio Haiti-Inter available at Duke University which cover a range of significant themes that are linked with current events. All of these explorations will be supported by films, songs, poems, and paintings that go with each theme that will be studied in class. Prerequisite: Creole 301.
