Courses
The African Languagues and Literatures Section of the School of Languages and Literatures offers two majors, one in Xhosa Communication (click on the links to learn more).
Individual courses in these majors may be taken by students not intending to major in Xhosa Communication
We also offer an exciting Multimedia Xhosa Program
where students may work on our interactive, multimedia program in the
language laboratory. Students will use the book (Speak Xhosa With Us)
that goes with this multimedia course as their grammar textbook.
