Mongolian
The minor in Mongolian consists of three language modules (Mongolian I-III) Students learn modern Mongolian (Chalcha) from the first semester with practice- and application-oriented training. They acquire skills in listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing, and intercultural communication. In the third semester they are introduced to the classical Mongolian script. In all language courses, students practice the use of language-learning aids and also work through contrastive examples. Already quite soon in their studies, students are able to express opinions orally and in writing about familiar topics, which enables them to get by in a Mongolian-speaking environment.
The Department of Oriental and Asian Studies is careful to maintain a balance in language instruction between pragmatic/communicative competence and linguistic fundamentals. Students acquire culturally sensitized, communicative and media-relevant competencies which enable them to understand phenomena and dynamics in the Mongolian cultural area and relate them to trans-disciplinary topics.
This subject must be combined with a second subject.
