*LUO LANGUAGE LEARNING & TRANSLATION TRAINING

PROGRAM* CODES: L.T.P - LUO - 101 / 0.5 (Basic, Half Credit)

and L.T.P. - LUO - 102 / 0.5 (Intermediary, Half Credit):

This is a special - interest, instructor - led "self - directed"

language learning and translation course. The on - line

course offered here is to be completed over five weeks

for the basic level one, and over five weeks for the

intermediary level two. 

A much slower pace of five months is sufficient for thorough

wholesome mastery of the African Luo Language through 

own (not instructor - led) "self - directed" learning at each

of the two levels one and two.

P.S. NOTE:

Luo is a general term applied to many African culturally

near - similar tribes who speak varied languages, some

- times of near - similar dialects. Rigorous research and

anthropological studies have been done in the academic,

geo - political or socio - economic fileds of some of these

regions. This language translation and training program

focusses on the Luo language of the central sub - region

of Uganda known as Lango, about which there is enough

reference materials and resources for language study.

 GOALS OF THE LANGUAGE TRAINING PROGRAM:
This language training is a part of cross cultural education that aims at
strengthening bonds between African culture and the American
cultural mosaic among various other cultures world wide.
The course offers a unique opportunity to study an
African language in a global context.

OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAINING INCLUDE:
- promoting cross - cultural interaction as well as supporting
the development of individuals socially and economically.
- promoting peace through appreciation of diversity, and
- playing our part in the world by expressing our own (Luo -
Lango) language and culture in all of its numerous forms.
- Catering to language requirements of many families living
and / or working in the various parts of our global village.
- preserving language and cultures by promoting awareness
thereby understanding and appreciation of our cultural
differences, as well as our heritage inorder to spice up life.
- Exploring our world through our language and culture
in relation to: selected world languages and cultures;
world politics plus other global issues of interest;
and current social or economic events.

THE RHINOCEROS LOGO SYMBOLIZES THE LUO - LANGO

CHERISHED CULTURAL VALUES OF HONESTY, JUSTICE,

STRAIGHT-FOWARDNESS, SIMPLICITY, AND FOCUS.

 *** POTENTIALLY INTERESTED STUDENTS: 

African Luo language is very easy to grasp due to the fact
that the sentences mainly comprise of very short letter words.
It has been and is easily learnt as well as fluently spoken
by previous learners from all cultures world - wide, and from
all walks of life including:

international studies certificate students who must
combine language, cultural and multidisciplinary learning;
language studies students; tourists visiting Africa or Uganda,
commonly referred to as the 'pearl of Africa'; language trans
-lators working with the U.N., media and with the Luo peoples;
Ph.D students who must pass an African  foreign language
exam; business investors interested in knowing the basics;
missionaries interested in spreading the 'good news';
embassy workers; N.G.O and international agency represent
-atives; academicians, researchers; and historians or
anthropologists interested in learning more about the origins
of Luo - Lango cultures alongside others in the African region.

Many students as well undertake linguistics and language learning
for mind - broadening and for the furthering of personal growth.
African Language Studies generally provide benefits to students
from the humanities, social sciences, physical, biological and
agricultural sciences, as well as those from our professional
schools, such as education, law, veterinary medicine,
pharmacy, and environmental design.
