By undertaking this course, students will deepen their command and comprehension of spoken and written Mongolian through the completion of longer oral and written projects. Students will engage in discussion of a wide range of pressing themes related to contemporary Mongolian society, such as gender roles, films, music, politics, diplomacy, crime, economy, migration, education, and health. Our textbook is all online including weekly vocabulary lists, audio and video files as well as cultural notes. The combination of weekly real time meetings and online materials allows you to continue your language learning in a flexible and dynamic way.

Other Information
On successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to engage at an Upper Intermediate level of Mongolian.
Students with native speaker proficiency (may include cognate languages and dialects) must review the language proficiency assessment site and contact the CAP Student Centre for appropriate enrolment advice. Students with previous “language experience or exposure” are required to undertake a language proficiency assessment to ensure enrolment at the most appropriate level.
Relevant past experience includes:
- Previous study of the language (both formal and informal, for example but not limited to, at school, or, home, or through online activities, etc.)
- Being exposed to the language in childhood via a family member or friend
- Travel or living in a country where the language is spoken
- The language being spoken in your home (even if you do not speak it yourself)
Students who are not sure if they need to undertake a language proficiency assessment should seek advice from the course or language convenor. Students who intentionally misrepresent their language proficiency level may be investigated under the Academic Integrity Rule 2021 as having failed to comply with assessment directions and having sought unfair advantage. This may results in a penalty such as reduced grades or failure of the course.
Students are not permitted to enrol in a language course below one that they have already successfully completed, except with permission of the language and/or course convenor.
