About the Book

The Routledge Intermediate Persian Course, second edition, is an intermediate level Persian textbook written specifically for English-speaking university students that incorporates the guidelines of the American Council of Teaching Foreign Languages and those of the Common European Framework of Reference in its tasks and activities.

The diversity of the texts in this textbook helps to familiarize students with a range of literary genres and provides them with the necessary building blocks to continue reading on their own.

One of the distinctive features of this book is its content-based and task-based approach to learning the language; all the material provided has been carefully selected to support and enhance a student-centred class environment. In addition, all the texts are real texts and excerpts extracted from books published in Iran.

As with The Routledge Introductory Persian Course , all the texts in this volume are available online in the form of audio files. These texts are recorded by native speakers and available for instructors and students to download freely at www.routledge.com/9781032319728.

The Routledge Intermediate Persian Course: Farsi Shirin Ast, Book Two, second edition, follows on where the first textbook ends and is ideal for all intermediate learners of Persian in their second year of study.

Review :

"This book offers engaging lessons designed to develop literacy and communicative competency in Persian at the intermediate level. The carefully selected themes and texts make the book especially appropriate for university classrooms while the extensive exercises included in each chapter encourage active, independent learning."

Samad Alavi, University of Oslo, Norway

"I have been using The Routledge Intermediate Persian Course: Farsi Shirin Ast, Book Two at my Intermediate Persian classes for a few years as it contains lessons on variety of topics with variety of exercises and some grammar points embedded. The second edition with task-based pre-reading activities and vocabulary sections before the main texts will help the students to understand the texts better. Additional vocabulary and grammar exercises are definitely a milestone which will strengthen the book and improve the vocabulary and grammar knowledge of the students and enhance learning. I found the book a very useful tool for teaching Persian at higher education as it has almost all the instructors require with no need to spend a great amount of time looking for appropriate class materials."

Mahbod Ghaffari, University of Cambridge, UK
