Eastern Armenian for the English-speaking World

by Dora Sakayan

Eastern Armenian for the English-speaking World is an introductory, yet complete first-year course for adults in the English-speaking world. It is a handbook for both the prospective teacher and the student of Armenian. However, the full guidance given in this textbook will allow motivated learners to use it for self-instruction as well. The book incorporates the recent achievements of applied linguistics into the instruction of Eastern Armenian. Although grammar is treated as an important aspect in mastering the language, other linguistic areas also receive attention. The accompanying CD-Rom is an indispensable tool for mastering Eastern Armenian pronunciation. It can be used with or without headphones. It contains the most relevant instruction material and is presented in the same order as in the textbook. The sections INTRODUCTORY DIALOGUE and all DIALOGUES (I) and all TEXTS (II) of the 12 Units of the textbook are systematically recorded. Included is also Armenian poetry from the Appendix. All texts are read by native speakers from Armenia and the poems are recited by Armenian professionals.
