Dari: An Intermediate Textbook

Dari is the most used language in Afghanistan; in fact, all official documents are written in it. This textbook, designed to cover one year of instruction, offers intermediate learners a communicative approach to the Dari language that develops the four language skills--speaking, listening, reading, and writing--through culturally relevant activities. It is accompanied by a CD-ROM with extensive authentic materials to help learners perform tasks and functions in both colloquial and standard forms. This textbook offers a thematically organized approach to the Dari language for intermediate students. The topics discussed include travel, microloans for businesses, shopping, and meetings with officials. Innovations include the functional approach to grammar, an emphasis on integrated skills development, and the use of various authentic materials, especially the videos filmed in the different regions of Afghanistan.
