Learning outcomes
|
Introductory course will bring the language learner basics of Mongolian language and will highlight attractions of Mongolia and its culture. The course focuses primarily on language teaching and language skills. Yet in the case of Asian languages it is always necessary knowledge of cultural contexts (e.g. the family hierarchy, introduction system, appropriate gifts etc.) that will properly complement language learning and motivate students to study. The aim of teacher is to show students the path to a new culture through language, which will be activated in lessons.
