Baker Adam. A Learner’s Grammar of Dari

August 15, 2017. — 124 p.This is a book about Dari grammar. It is not a curriculum for a language course. This book will not answer the question, “What should I do during my lessons?” That is, however, a very important question to ask.
The curriculum advocated by IAM for the last ten years or so has been based upon the Growing Participator Approach (GPA). The GPA will give you hour-by-hour plans for your language lessons, based on the idea that you are becoming an increasingly competent member of a language community (a ‘growing participator’). The GPA is not an approach to learning Dari; it is an approach to learning any language. As you can imagine then, the structure of lessons in the GPA is not built around grammatical lessons, but instead builds on the learner’s gradually increasing ability to interact in the real world.
