About

About the course

Course content

Throughout the course special emphasis will be given to verb forms (tense and mood) and nuances in expression (pragmatics), in addition to further strengthening of the grammar from the two lowest levels.

Civilization is part of the curriculum in this level, either in the form of a single work (for example Ellingsen and MacDonald: Her på berget), or in the form of free-standing texts of similar size and subject. Some of the subjects may be addressed with literary texts. The intent is to provide students with an insight into modern Norwegian community life and its historical background.
