Presentation Summary

In spring 2021 UA CMES offered “Taste of Kurdish,” a free online class with 5 one-hour evening sessions over 5 weeks. This short “taster” class was meant to introduce the LCTL to a wider audience. This paper will think through how to further capitalize on this free short-class format to share information about LCTLS and increase enrollment.
