ABSTRACT
This conversation manual and tapescript are part of a
set of materials that have been developed to teach oral and written
Afghan Pashto to English speakers. In addition to the conversation
manual and tapescript, the set consists of a beginning textbook, an
intermediate textbook, a reader, and a set of taped lessons that
correlate with the textbooks. The mate:rials are designed to bring an
English-speaking student to a 2+ or 3 on the Interagency Language
Roundtable proficiency scale, or an Advanced on the American Council
on the Teaching of Foreign Languages proficiency scale. Pashto
Conversation Manual contains 14 lessons that correspond to 2 units of
the beginning or intermediate Pashto textbook/workbook. The lessons
provide additional speaking and listening practice on the material
contained in the units, as well as exposure to different dialects.
The tapescript contains the oral prompts for the exercises in the
manual. An overview and brief description of each component of the
Pashto materials is included. (Author/AB)

CAL Pashto Materials Overview

1993
Over the last six years, the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) has developed a
set of materials to teach the Pashto language to English speakers: Beginning Pashto and
Intermediate Pashto introduce students to the spoken and written language; the Pashto
Reader provides extensive exposure to authentic Pashto written materials. Pashto
Conversation is a set of taped lessons, correlating with the units of Beginning and
Intermediate Pashto The Pashto-English Glossary for the CAL Pashto Materials is a
.
glossary of all the words that appear in the components listed above.
The language taught in the materials is Afghan Pashto, In particular the standard
central dialect spoken in Kabul and used in the official media. The materials have been
proof-read and field-tested by Kandahari Pashtuns; the words and phrases in them are
familiar to speakers of the Kandahari dialect as well. In Pashto Conversation, there are
several exercises contrasting the Kabuli and Kant...hart (and Peshawari, as well)
dialects, to give students more ex;Irience with the major dialects.
Beginning Pashto and Intermediate Pashto constitute a set of materials teaching

oral and written Pashto. Each of the twenty-eight units (fourteen per book) provides
about ten hours of class work, and therefore should be sufficient for four semesters of
academic language training (three hours a week in class, with possibly two hours of lab
or practice), or about ten weeks in an intensive course (six hours a day in class, five days
a week). The materials are designed to bring an English-speaking student to a 2+ or 3 on
the ILR proficiency scale, or an Advanced on the ACTFL proficiency scale; all the
grammatical structures of Pashto are presented, along with about 2,500 words.
The Pashto writing system is taught in the first unit of Beginning Pashto, and is
used in the presentation of material from then on. In the first three units, material is
also in a romanized transcription. After that, the transcription of a word or phrase is
given only when the word or phrase is introduced, or when pronunciation is the focus.
Beginning and Intermediate 122.Vito teach the language via dialogues and readings
on various topics (e.g. food, shopping, weather, family, etc.) , with accompanying
presentations on grammar and vocabulary, and exercises for oral practice and
conversation. Each unit contains a Diversion a proverb, poem or story - intended to
amuse the student, and to provide him or her with a glimpse of Pashto folk literature.
The dialogues revolve around the activities of g group of Pashtuns and Americans
at an Ah.erican university, so that the American student is provided with language and
vocabulary of immediate usefulness. The readings for the most part describe Pashtun
life and customs In Afghanistan, and are related to the topic in the corresponding
dialogue. The dialogues and readings in Intermediate Pashto continue along the same
general format, but the focus of attention shifts to Afghanistan, and to more deOiled
study of Pashtun culture and Afghan history.
The Workbooks, which a *e mostly in English, provide background Information on
points in the dialogues and readings, discussion of grammar points, and information on
ICA
individual vocabulary items. Each unit in the Workbooks contains a number of exercises
providing additional practice on the points covered in the Textbook. There are listening
exercises in the Beginning Pashto workbook which require the student to listen to a
prompt, then respond in some way.
The Teachers Manuals, in Pashto, are written for the educated native speaker of
Pashto who might not have a background in language teaching or an extensive background
in Pashtc grammar. it explains the presentation of grammar points, and gives other
information of use to the teacher. At the end of each unit, the prompts for the listening
exercises in the Workbooks are given for the teacher's convenience.
The Text Tapescript and Workbook Tapescript for Beginning Pashto have been
developed for students who do not have regular access to a native speaker of the
language. They provide the means for such students to identify a Pashto speaker, then
make arrangements with him or her to tape the impoilant parts of the Textbook and the
listening exercises in the Workbook. The tapescripts are not necessary in situations
where there is a Pashto-speaking teacher.
Pashto Conversation contains fourteen lessons - each lesson corresponding to

two units of Beginning/Intermediate Pashto - which provide additional speaking and
listening practice on the material contained in the units, es well as exposure to different
dialects. The lessons have been recorded there is a set of cassettes at the Center for
the Advancement of Language Learning (tel: (703) 312-5040; Fax: (703) 526-4823)
and another at the Center for Applied Linguistics (see numbers below).
The Pashto Reader presents selections of modern written Pashto, with extensive
notes and guides to comprehension. Six different genres are exemplified: essays,
4rt1cles, stories, poetry, "public- Pashto (street signs, ads, etc.), and "fractured" Pashto
(published Pashto written by non-native speakers). Pashto Reader: Originals presents
the passages of the Reader in computer scans of their originals, to provide the student
with practice in dealing with Pashto as It actually appears: handwritten, without
conventional spacing between words, etc Pashto Reader: Passages in Transcription
presents the passages in the roman transcription used to represent pronunciation
tt..oughout the series; it is intended for the linguist interested in the Pashto language
but not necessarily the writing system.
The Glossary for the CAL Pashb Materials contains, in dictionary form, all the
words taught in the materials about 5,000 entries. Each entry includes a word or
phrase's Pashto spelling, a transcription of pronunciation, English equivalents or
explanations, and grammatical information.
All these materials are in the public domain, and copies may be made of them as
needed. Each component Is listed in the ERIC system with a separate number, and has
been designed on the assumption that a single hard copy will be bought from ERIC, then
copied and bound. Each component accordingly has a cover page, which should be copied
onto heavy paper (a different color for each component makes It easier to identify). The
title page and rest of the component can be copied as usual, then bound with the cover
page and a back cover. We have found that comb-binding (available at most copy centers)
is best, because it allows the "book" to lie flat. To facilitate copy-making, every page of
the materials has been numbered and labelled in English, in headers like the following:
Beginning Pashto Unit 12: *4 44.13 4re 1... Teachers' Manual 82
Some of the components In the ERIC system are now obsolete. Here is a list of
everything that has been deposited in the system, along with identifying number (where
possible). The items marked with asterisks (***) are obsolete.

Pashto Conversation Manualiy
Introduction
Pashto Conversation is the last-developed component of the CAL Pashto

Materials. It coordinates with the units of Beginning Pashto and Intermediate Pashto,
and provides the student with more practice in understanding and speaking the language.
This Manual accompanies taped oral exercises, and cannot be used without oral
prompts not included in the Manual. The prompts have been recorded at CAL: a set of
cassettes is housed at the Center for the Advancement of Language Learning (tel: (703)
312-5040; fax: (703) 526-4823) and another at the Center for Applied Linguistics (tel:
(202) 429-9292; fax: (202) 659-5541). Contact either of these organizations for
information on getting a copy of the tapes.
Alternatively, you can make your own tapes, or use the exercises face-to-face in
tutoring situations. If you choose this route, you should order the document Pashto
Conversation: Tapescript from the ERIC system.
We want to thank Mr. Anwar Ayazi for his assistance to us in proof-reading and
commenting on the lessons and tapescripts for Pashto Conversation.
To the Student
Beginning and Intermediate Pashto were designed for the student who is learning
Pashto for its linguistic and literary interest, and there is a corresponding emphasis on
grammatical points in the general presentation. The lessons of Pashto Conversation, on
the other hand, are aimed at the student who is learning Pashto for practical purposes,
and there is a corresponding emphasis on understanding and using the spoken language.
We strongly suggest that you repeat each exercise especially those that require
you to listen to an extended passage several times. You will be pleasant surprised at
how a passage that is totally incomprehensible the first time around becomes more and
more understandable with each repetition. Wa also urge you to pay particular attention
to the exercises that ask you to come up with your own responses to questions:
struggling to compose your own Pashto answers will, besides increasing your fluency,
also point out to you any gaps in your vocabulary that you will probably need to 1111 in
talking about yourself.

Over the last six years, the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) has developed a
set of materials to teach the Pashto language to English speakers: Beginning Pashto and
Intermediate Pashto introduce students to the spoken and written language; the Pashto
Reader provides extensive exposure to authentic Pashto written materials. Pashto
Conversation is a set of taped lessons, correlatihg with the units of Beginning and
Intermediate Pashto The Pashto-English Glossary for the CAL Pashto Materials is a
.
glossary of all the words that appear in the components listed above.
The language taught in the materials is Afghan Pashto, 'n particular the standard
central dialect spoken in Kabul and used in the official med:d. The materials have been
proof-read and field-tested by Kandahari Pashtuns; the words and phrases in them are
familiar to speakers of the Kandahari dialect as well. In Pashto Conversation, there are
several exercises contrasting the Kabuli and Kandahari (and Peshawari, as well)
dialects, to give students more experience with the major dialects.
Beginning Pashto and Intermediate Pashto constitute a set of materials teaching

oral and written Pashto. Each of the twenty-eight units (fourteen per book) provides
about ten hours of class work, and therefore should be sufficient for four semesters of
academic language training (three hours a week in class, with possibly two hours of lab
or practice), or about ten weeks in an intensive course (six hours a day in class, five days
a week). The materials are designed to bring an English-speaking student to a 2+ or 3 on
the ILR proficiency scale, or an Advanced on the ACTFL proficiency scale; all the
grammatical structures of Pashto are presented, along with about 2,500 words.
The Pashto writing system is taught in the first unit of Beginning Pashto, and is
used in the presentation of material from then on. In the first three units, material is
also in a romanized transcription. After that, the transcription of a word or phrase is
given only when the word or phrase is introduced, or when pronunciation is the focus.
Beginning and Intermedi2te Pashto teach the language via dialogues and readings
on various topics (e.g. food, shopping, weather, family, etc.) , with accompanying
presentations on grammar and vocabulary, and exercises for oral practice and
conversation. Each unit contains a Diversion a proverb, poem or story intended to
amuse the student, and to provide him or her with a glimpse of Pashto folk literature.
The dialogues revolve around the activities of a group of Pashtuns and Americans
at an American university, so that the American student is provided with language and
vocabulary of immediate usefulness. The readings for the most part describe Pashtun
life and customs in Afghanistan, and are related to the topic in the corresponding
dialogue. The dialogues and readings in Intermediate Pashto continue along the same
general format, but the focus of attention shifts to Afghanistan, and to more detailed
study of Pashtun culture and Afghan history.
The Workbooks, which are mostly in English, provide background information on
points in the dialogues and readings, discussion of grammar points, and information on
7
individual vocabulary items. Each unit in the Workbooks contains a number of exercises
providing additional practice on the points covered in the Textbook. There are listening
exercises in the Beginning Pashto workbook which require the student to listen to a
prompt, then respond in some way.
The Teachers Manuals, in Pashto, are written for the educated native speaker of
Pashto who might not have a background in language teaching or an extensive background
in Pashto grammar. It explains the presentation of grammar points, and gives other
information of use to the teacher. At the end of each unit, the prompts for the listening
exercises in the Workbooks are given for the teachers convenience.
The Text Tapescript and Workbook Tapescript for Beginning Pashto have been
developed for students who do not have regular access to a native speaker of the
language. They provide the means for such students to identify a Pashto speaker, then
make arrangements with him or her to tape the important parts of the Textbook and the
listening exercises in the Workbook. The tapescripts are not necessary in situations
where there is a Pashto-speaking teacher.
Pashto Conversation contains fourteen lessons - each lesson corresponding to

two units of Beginning/Intermediate Pashto - which provide additional speaking and
listening practice on the material contained in the units, as well as exposure to different
dialects. The lessons have been recorded - there is a set of cassettes at the Center for
the Advancement of Language Learning (tel: (703) 312-5040; Fax: (703) 526-4623)
and another at the Center for Applied Linguistics (see numbers below).
The Pashto Reader presents selections of modern written Pashto, with extensive
notes and guides to comprehension. Six different genres are exemplified: essays,
articles, stories, poetry, "public" Pashto (street signs, ads, etc.), and "fractured" Pashto
(published Pashto written by non-native speakers). Pashto Reader: Originals presents
the passages of the Reader in computer scans of their originals, to provide the student
with practfte in dealing with Pashto as it actually appears: handwritten, without
conventional spacing between words, etc. Pashto Reader: Passages in Transcription
presents the passages in the roman transcription used to represent pronunciation
throughout the series; It is intended for the linguist interested in the Pashto language
but not necessarily the writing sustem.
The Glossary for the CAL Pashto Materials contains, in dictionary form, all the
words taught In the materials - about 5,000 entries. Each entry includes a word or
phrase's Pashto spelling, a transcription of pronunciation, English equivalents or
explanations, and grammatical information.
All these materials are in the public domain, and copies may be made of them as
needed. Each component is listed in the ERIC system with a separate number, and has
been designed on the assumption that a single hard copy will be bought from ERIC, then
copied and bound. Each component accordingly has a coVer page, which should be copied
onto heavy paper (a different color for each component makes it easier to identify). The
title page and rest of the component can be copied as usual, then bound with the cover
page and a back cover. We have found that comb-binding (available at most copy centers)
is best, because it allows the "book" to lie flat. To facilitate copy-making, every page of
the materials has been numbered and labelled in English, in headers like the following:
Beginning Pashto Unit 12: ist 1. Teachers Manual 82

Some of the components in the ERIC system are now obsolete. Here is a list of
everything that has been deposited in the system, along with identifying number (where
possible). The items marked with asterisks (***) are obsolete.

Pashto Conversation Tapescript iV
Introduction
Pashto Conversation is the last-developed component of the CAL Pashto

Materials. it coordinates with the units of Beginning Pashto and Intermediate Pashto,
and provides the student with more practice In understanding and speaking the language.
Pashto Conversation consists of this Tapescript and a Manual. The Tapescript

contains the oral prompts for the exercises in the Manual. The prompts have been
recorded at CAL: a set of cassettes is housed at the Center for the Advancement of
Language Learning (tel: (703) 312-5040; fax: (703) 528-4823) and another at the
Center for Applied Linguistics (tel: (202) 429-9292; fax: (202) 659-5641). Contact
either of these organizations for information on getting a copy of the tapes.
Alternatively, you can make your own tapes, or use the exercises face-to-face in
tutoring situations, with this tapescript.
To make tapes from this tapescript, you must first find a native Pashto speaker
who has had enough education in Afghanistan to read Pashto script easily. R is
necessary, of course, that the speaker be a Dative speaker - someone who learned the
language as a child, and who has spoken it at home rather than someone who has
learned Pashto in school. If you are not in a position to verify the Pashto of a putative
native speaker, it is easy to arrange a telephone interview for him or ner: call the
Pashto Service of the Voice of America in Washington, D.C., explain that you need .to
verify someone as a native speaker of Pashto, and ask the Pashto Service to interview
him and give you an opinion.
When you have found a native Pashto speaker, you and he or she can tape the
contents of the tapescript, by reading the parts for the English Speaker and the Pashto
Speaker respectively.
We want to thank Mr. Anwar Ayazi for his assistance to us in proof-reading and
commenting on the lessons and tapescripts for Pashto Conversation.

Pashto Conversation Tapescript V
To the Student
Beginning and intermediate Pashto were designed for the student who is learning
Pashto for its linguistic and literary interest, and there is a corresponding emphasis on
grammatical points in the general presentation. The lessons of Pashto Conversation, on
the other hand, are aimed at the student who is learning Pashto for practical purposes,
and there is a corresponding emphasis on understanding and using the spoken language.
We strongly suggest that you repeat each exercise especially those that require
you to listen to an extended passage several times. You will be pleasant surprised at
how a passage that is totally incomprehensible the first time around becomes more and
more understandable with each repetition. We also urge you to pay particular attention
to the exercises that ask you to come up with your own responses to questions:
struggling to compose your own Pashto answers will, besides increasing your fluency,
also point out to you any gaps in your vocabulary that you will probably need to fill in
talking about yourself.
