SIDE OM SIDE- PART 1 | ONLINE
(NRK Television Program, available online in the US without subscription)
This beloved sitcom has been on air since 2013 and captures suburban family life in a relatable way, albeit undeniably Norwegian. Jonas and Marie are happily in love and are just settling into their new home in the fictional town of Granli, Østfold. The idyllic suburb seems, or rather quickly seemed, like the place to take their next steps until they meet their neighbors, the quirky Pedersen family and the affluent Kopperud family. Each 20-minute episode tests the neighbors’ persistence and the new residents’ relationship.
Participants will watch 2-3 episodes per week at home. Every other class period will introduce the coming episodes with new vocabulary, and we'll discuss the previous episode. As 100 episodes are currently broadcast, the course will focus on seasons 1-4, and draw from the subsequent. There will also be a few grammar exercises and writing assignments. This course is intended for a range of learners in the B1/C2 levels.

LOWER ADVANCED 2 | ONLINE
LOWER ADVANCED 2 | ONLINE
Lower Advanced 2 covers chapters 3-4 in Her på berget (2024) and is designed for learners who are ready to engage in discussion, deepen their understanding of grammar & vocabulary and further develop listening, speaking and writing competencies.
For this class we will use Her på berget, a text at the B2 level that is a continuation of Stein på stein, using more complex language with greater emphasis on listening and speaking. Participants will have opportunities to actively engage in their learning through weekly conversation and writing assignments that include both familiar themes as well as newly introduced information. Instruction is conducted primarily in Norwegian. This class is recommended for those who have completed the Upper Intermediate Norwegian series, or the equivalent, and who are committed to spending time on their Norwegian studies outside of class.
Text: Her på berget (2024) textbook, workbook & digital portal by Elisabeth Ellingsen and Kirsti Mac Donald

HISTORY OF NORWAY | VIKINGS | ADVANCED LEVEL
HISTORY OF NORWAY | VIKING AGE | ADVANCED LEVEL
The Viking raid of Lindisfarne, Northumbria, England, in 793 AD, marked the start of a new era for nordic people. Building on the social infrastructure that had been well established during the Iron Age, the Viking era saw an expansion of nordic power well beyond the long developed European trade routes. An era of nordic conquest had begun.
What drove the Vikings so far beyond their homelands? What was daily life like in a typical Viking village? What technological advances underpinned rapid spread of Vikings throughout the northern Atlantic region? What role, if any, did the Viking belief system play in this era?
This course will be primarily taught in Norwegian and we will be using the Norwegian book ‘Norges Historie - Fra istid til I dag’ as our primary text. We will also include readings and other media taken from reliable nordic sources to deepen our understanding in the areas of the main course themes.
I look forward to seeing you! - Ingunn Henrikssen
This class is intended for advanced (C1 or higher) level students. The class will be taught primarily in Norwegian and there will be 2 to 3 hours of work outside of class each week.
The class is intended to be the second in a nine course series on the history of Norway, all taught primarily in Norwegian at the C1 level.
