Outline and Purpose of the Course	Hausa is a language spoken in northern Nigeria and southern Niger in West Africa. There are Hausa communities in all cities in West Africa, and the number of speakers is said to be 80 million, but in fact the number of speakers is rapidly increasing, sometimes as high as 120 million. The Hausa believe in Islam, and the increasing Islamization of West Africa is also known as Hausanization. 　In this course, students will learn basic Hausa pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, and acquire practical Hausa language skills to conduct fieldwork in Hausa society. The course also includes lectures on the cultural characteristics of Hausa society, daily life, values, and contemporary social trends.
Course Goals	Students will develop an understanding of basic Hausa greetings, number counting, grammar, vocabulary, and the ability to hold simple conversations. Students will also gain a basic understanding of contemporary developments in West African society.

Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	We will proceed with 15 lessons in 4 days on Saturdays in July (scheduled for July 9, 16, 23, and 30). The main focus will be to be able to converse without paying attention to details. I want to make language classes fun, but we will move at a fast pace, so prep before class and review after class will be necessary.
Textbooks	Textbooks/References	The textbook will be prepared and distributed in the classroom. (It is recommended that students receive the textbook from the class instructor before the first day of class, but it is also possible to receive it at the first class.)
