This class is a continuation of Elementary Mongolian I and will build on the lessons learned in that class. Mongolian is the national language of the independent State of Mongolia and the language of the nomadic warriors Genghis Khan (known to the Mongolians themselves as Chinggis Khan). It is also spoken in China and Siberia. Students will learn the basics of modern Mongolian language, as spoken in Ulaanbaatar "Red Hero," the country's capital. They will learn in the phonetic Cyrillic script, which was adapted to Mongolian language from Russian in 1945, with a few additional letters. Basic grammar will be taught through communicative methodology. Students will also have opportunity to experience Mongolian arts, culture, and cooking in and out of class.

Advanced Vietnamese II is the second part of the Advanced Vietnamese level. It continues the Advanced Vietnamese I (VIET 0500) which is offered in Fall terms. This advanced course is designed for both heritage and non-heritage students who have successfully completed the Advanced Vietnamese I course or have equivalent level of proficiency. This course helps students to acquire a wide range of vocabulary, colloquial expressions, and idioms. Students will be able to understand all common grammar rules in Vietnamese. It is for students who wish to express themselves fluently and spontaneously without searching for expressions.
Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary (Han-Viet) will be learned to a greater extent because 70% of the lower-level Vietnamese is “pure Viet” but about 70% of the upper-level vocabulary is Han-Viet.
The course covers a variety of aspects of Vietnam via a communicative, proficiency-oriented approach. Students are encouraged to perform debates, oral presentations, and written expositions. Project-based learning will be a part of the assessed activities and language learning technology will be applied throughout the course.
Vietnamese is the language used entirely in this course.

VIET 0220/5220 is the second part of a two-semester introductory course for students with some prior knowledge of Vietnamese language. The course aims to further strengthen linguistic accuracy (spelling, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, tones) and fluency (conversational skills, narrative structure, discursive practice) in both spoken and written Vietnamese. Synchronous and asynchronous activities will include projects, and students are required to work individually and collaboratively. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to express themselves more accurately and confidently and participate in Vietnam-related communities in a more meaningful way. Students will also gain a basic knowledge of Vietnam’s history and culture. Vietnamese is the language of instruction with the exception occasional quick explanation in English.
