Welcome

The African Languages Program at IUB regularly offers courses in Bambara/Bamana, Kiswahili, Twi, and Zulu. We offer Kiswahili and Twi as intensive summer courses, as well as other languages, such as Wolof, Luo, and Moroccan Arabic, on demand.

Our instructors are native speakers who are trained in communicative language teaching and instruct courses at all levels.

African languages can be used to fulfill IU’s language requirement, complete an undergraduate minor, or obtain an African Studies Certificate. African language study can also prepare students for Study Abroad programs in South Africa, Ghana, Senegal, and Tanzania.
