Introduction

The Inuit language and culture training offered at Inalco is based on the study of Inuktitut, which is spoken by the Inuit of the Canadian Eastern Arctic. Inuktitut has official status in Nunavik (Arctic Quebec) and Nunavut. It is the language of Nunavik that serves as the standard for learning at Inalco. With its oral tradition, but transcribed for over a century using a syllabary, Inuktitut has an extremely unfamiliar polysynthetic structure.

Taught over four years by Marc-Antoine Mahieu. The Inuktitut Passport 1 is a two-year course, while the Inuktitut Passports 2 and 3 are one-year courses. It includes: acquisition of the language's basic structures and elements, practice in oral and written expression, analysis of a variety of texts, translation into and from Inuktitut, as well as a linguistic overview of the diversity of dialects, their functioning and evolution. Courses in Inuit culture are taught by Guy Bordin and other guest lecturers. These include history and anthropology.

Target audience

Registration for the "Inuktitut Distance Passport" allows students based in Canada to follow courses by videoconference, but does not lead to a diploma.

This course is therefore primarily aimed at people with a professional or research activity related to the Inuit of Nunavik (Arctic Quebec).

Program

Divided into each semester of Passport 1:
Speaking and writing theory and practice 
Inuit culture: fundamental issues 

Divided into each semester of Passports 2 and 3:
Deepening knowledge
Inuit culture: thematic studies

Teaching methods

Visioconferencing, zoom, e-mail, telephone.

Assessment methods

Introduction

Today spoken by some 3.5 million people worldwide, Lithuanian is the last of the Baltic languages, along with Latvian. Spoken by a peasant population nestled in dense forests and marshy lands, it has remarkably preserved various features of ancient Indo-European. Inalco is the only French institution to offer training in Lithuanian. Inalco offers the most comprehensive curriculum in Europe, combining in-depth study of the language with that of Lithuanian geography, history, culture and literature.

The language and civilization diplomas form a coherent four-year course. Each year of study leads to the award of a diploma: DLC 1, 2, 3 and 4 (only DLC1 is waived in comodal).

The aim of the course is to: 
- equip students with a linguistic competence that can be used directly for oral and written communication in Lithuanian, and for the exploitation and translation of all types of documents and texts written in this language (target proficiency level: A2 at the end of 1st year, B1 at the end of 2nd year and B2 at the end of 3rd year)
- provide a general knowledge of Lithuanian history, culture and society, giving access to the country's cultural references and social and communicational codes, a prerequisite for maintaining professional or non-professional relations with Lithuanian speakers

Target audience

This course is aimed primarily at people not seeking a national diploma but wishing to learn Lithuanian in depth and acquire a solid knowledge of Lithuania and its culture.

First-year courses are designed for absolute beginners. No previous knowledge of the language is required. People who already have some knowledge of the language can apply for direct admission to DLC 2, 3 or 4, depending on their level (see the training manager).

There are many regional variants, and it is that of the Imerina (Tananarive region) that has been chosen as the official language, due to a long tradition of writing dating back to the first half of the 19th century. Malagasy belongs to the Austronesian language family.

At present, Inalco is the only university where Malagasy is taught as a foreign language, and language diplomas form a coherent three-year curriculum. Each year of study leads to the award of a diploma: DL1 (CERCL level achieved: A2), DL2 (CERCL level achieved: B2) and DL3 (CERCL level achieved: C1).

Exceptionally in 2021-2022, one course: History of the Andes

• Hybrid course
• Timetable: 2h weekly classes as part of the first semester + personal work
• Credits: 4 ECTS
• Fees: for students taking this course as part of their training in DLC1 from Quechua, there is no additional cost. It is also possible to take this course as part of a Passport registration (see ICI)
• Start date: week of September 18, 2023
• Teachers: Isabel Yaya (isabel.yaya@inalco.fr)

Introduction

Quechua currently has around eight million speakers in five South American countries: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. More than half of them live in Peru, where there is also the greatest dialect diversity. What is commonly referred to as "Quechua" in fact corresponds to a fairly diversified set of dialects, or even a family of languages. Historical linguistics hypothesizes that the first expansion of the language took place in the second half of the 1st millennium AD, from a focus in central Peru. 

There are two main dialect groups, usually referred to as "Quechua I" and "Quechua II". The first brings together the dialects spoken in central and north-central Peru, while the second encompasses the Quechua dialects of Ecuador and Colombia to the north, and those of southern Peru, Bolivia and Argentina to the south. The variety taught at Inalco is that of southern Peru (Cuzco and Ayacucho dialects), which is very close to Bolivian Quechua.

This "History of the Andes" course is offered within the Quechua DLC1 and is open to students and auditors alike (Passport registration possible).

Program (QUEA110c)

Training in Quechua language and culture at Inalco takes place over four years. Grammar instruction includes the acquisition of structures and the analysis of a variety of texts. Complementary to this teaching, practical language courses are provided throughout the four years by a Bolivian tutor. These language lessons are complemented by courses in history (History of the Andes), geography (Organization of space in Peru), ethnology (Ethnology of the Andes), oral and written Quechua literature and dialectology. Only the History of the Andes course is accessible via distance learning. The other Quechua DLC courses take place face-to-face.

Introduction

Sinhala, Sri Lanka's official language since 1948 (status now shared with Tamil), is spoken by almost 74% of the island's population, or over 13,000,000 speakers.
There are two quite distinct variants of Sinhala: a form known as spoken Sinhala, and a form known as literary Sinhala. Literary Sinhala is very distinct from spoken Sinhala in terms of pronunciation, grammar and above all vocabulary, which is enriched by many borrowings from Sanskrit and Pali, the two mother languages. It is a language used in written communication, in oral speeches prepared in advance, in newspapers and TV programmes, in narrative novels and treatises.
Inalco is one of the few universities in the West to offer a complete Sinhala curriculum. The Sinhala bachelor's degree provides training in the language in both its spoken and literary versions, and opens up a vast field of research for students aiming for an academic career.

Exceptionally in 2023-2024, bachelor's degree courses (and institutional diplomas) are taught in a hybrid way, both face-to-face and distance learning.

Target audience

The first level of Sinhala is aimed at both those seeking a main initial training and those wishing to supplement another course taken previously or in parallel. The course is designed for beginners. No prior knowledge of the language is required. Those who already have some knowledge of the language can contact the course leader for possible accommodations.

Direct enrolments for levels 2 and 3 are also possible under certain conditions.

Introduction

Slovak, which became one of the official languages of the European Union in May 2004, is a young language. It is one of the West Slavic languages, like Czech, Polish and Sorbian, but also shares some characteristics with South and East Slavic languages. Inalco is currently the only French university with a Slovak readership to offer a complete course in Slovak.

The language diplomas form a coherent three-year curriculum. Each year of study leads to the award of a diploma: the DL1 (CERCL level achieved: A1), the DL2 (CERCL level achieved: A2), and the DL3 (CERCL level achieved: B1).

Target audience

This course is aimed primarily at people not seeking a national diploma. It enables you to learn Slovak in depth and acquire some knowledge about Slovakia and its culture.

• Start date: week of September 18, 2023
• Section managers: Pascal Bacuez (pascal.bacuez@inalco.fr) and Nathalie Carré (nathalie.carre@inalco.fr)

Introduction

Swahili, with an estimated 90-105 million speakers, plays a leading role throughout East and Central Africa.

It features in the publications of major international institutions (UN bodies, NGOs...) and occupies a growing position in information and communication technologies.

Inalco is the only institution in France to offer Swahili courses to students from a wide range of backgrounds. Swahili is one of the languages on offer for the baccalauréat exam and the competitive examination for Conseiller and Secrétaire des Cadres d'orient at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Through a gentle progression, the program focuses on the acquisition of the fundamental structures of the language and on strategies for learning it independently. Depending on the individual's project and investment in learning Swahili, the following levels can be reached: end of L1 or CL 1 level A1, end of L2 or CL 2 level A2 /B1, end of L3 or CL 3: oral, level B1/ written, level B2, or even C1 depending on the individual

Target audience

The Swahili license (LLCER AOI: "Foreign and regional language, literature and civilization - Indian Ocean course) is aimed at both those seeking a main initial training and those wishing to complete another course taken previously or in parallel.

The first year of the course is designed for absolute beginners. No prior knowledge of the language is required. It is open to students with a baccalaureate or equivalent qualification, or those benefiting from a validation of acquired experience (VAE).

In addition to students enrolling for initial training, it is aimed at:
⇒ students from other universities seeking an additional qualification;
⇒ students (Socrates-Erasmus) enrolled in European universities, wishing to obtain training in one of the languages offered in the mention;
⇒ students seeking to discover their native languages and cultures;
⇒ those involved in development projects and professionals seeking training in African languages and cultures.

Access to the mention is possible in S3 or S5, after study of applications subject to validation of previous courses.

Program

Examples of teaching:

• SWAA110b Written Practice 1 : courses are designed in connection with the grammar program and fully available on Moodle.

You can contact the section leaders for more details about distance learning courses.

Teaching methods

The Swahili section offers distance Swahili teaching by correspondence (which does not mean that there is videoconferencing teaching, but that documents are deposited online on the Moodle platform). The language courses of the first two years of the LLCER are available to all students who are unable to travel (employed, living abroad...), as well as some civilization courses. Each AU represents around 6 to 7 hours of personal work per week, depending on the level of commitment, and is mainly completed online.

Introduction

Since the introduction of economic openness (Đổi mới) 35 years ago, Vietnam has recorded average annual economic growth of some 7% gradually becoming one of the rising economic powers in Southeast Asia. In the space of three decades, under the tutelage of the Vietnamese Communist Party, the country has made the transition from a centrally planned economy to a "market economy with a socialist orientation". Understanding these fundamentals and the driving forces behind this economic transition will enable foreign players to better apprehend the corporate and business environment in this still singular country. Finally, Vietnam, considered by many Western investors as a "gateway" to other Southeast Asian countries, is set to play an increasingly important role in this fast-growing region. What are its strengths and weaknesses in this highly competitive environment? 

The aim of this course is to:
- introduce students to a "practical" economic approach to Vietnam and understand the transition mechanisms that have been implemented,
- describe the process of setting up an industrial and commercial project in Vietnam
- provide keys to "operational success" in Vietnam
- enable learners to acquire the Vietnamese lexical field appropriate to the subjects covered in the course

Target audience

- Inalco Masters students (Vietnamese Studies and possibly other Masters)
- external public (possibility within the framework of a Passport)

There are no prerequisites on the economic environment part, business or project. Concerning the language level, the vocabulary studied is level C1 (not necessarily necessary to follow the course).

Program (COCA423g)

Course 1 - opening, general information and awareness (SPOC (75 / 25) - Face-to-face):
The aim of this first course is to assess the general environment in Vietnam and to put into a "dynamic" perspective the general information (geographical, historical, economic, political) that students may have acquired about Vietnam throughout their schooling, professional experience.
The expectation of the course is that students will not only be able to situate Vietnam in its geographical, political and cultural context, but also be able to talk about it dynamically to an organization (company, administration, NGO) with a dedicated Vietnamese lexical field.

Course 2 - Vietnam: understanding the business environment (SPOC (60 / 40) - Presential):
The aim of this course is to understand the business environment in Vietnam, explain the process of setting up a company in Vietnam and master the search for economic information in Vietnam to improve the economic performance of one's company. The aim is also to acquire a dedicated Vietnamese lexical field.

Course 3 - Vietnam: how to prepare your project and position yourself (10% SPOC; feedback - 90% face-to-face; case studies and advice):
The aim of this course is to acquire the technical and interpersonal keys to managing your organization (company, NGO, Administration) in Vietnam. It is also a question of seeing how to use knowledge of the language and culture to position oneself in the Vietnamese business environment while acquiring a dedicated Vietnamese lexical field.

Teaching methods

The pedagogical organization will mix a theoretical approach (macroeconomic, geographical, geopolitical, legal data, etc.) and a practical one (business creation cases, setting up a business intelligence system in the Vietnamese environment and acquiring the Vietnamese vocabulary linked to these activities). This course will also follow the hybrid approach enabling students to have access to tools and corpora that can be activated remotely and autonomously, while benefiting from guidance in setting up business creation and information management projects in Vietnam.

Assessment methods

The knowledge test consists of text analysis (for communication in Vietnamese economics) and translation/version (for mastery of economic vocabulary).

Registrations and exams

Registrations are regular - depending on the teaching modalities - for courses marked "diploma", but can be done as Passport, minor, or opening teaching added to an inalco diploma course for those marked "passport" and "courses".
