Other Less Commonly Taught East Asian Languages: Mongolian
In order to attain greater diffusion of all East Asian “Less Commonly-Taught languages” (“LCTL”), the Institute for Chinese Studies and the OSU Title VI NRC / FLAS East Asian Studies Center plans to partner with multiple regional, national, and international entities. The East Asian Studies Center is cooperating with Indiana University’s Summer Workshop in Slavic, East European and Central Asian Languages (SWSEEL) to support summer instruction of Uighur and Mongolian. EASC is is also partnering with Indiana University’s Center for the Languages of the Central Asian Region (CelCAR) to support the testing and proficiency guidelines for Central Asian Languages, along with another NEALRC-led consortium to interface with CIC and participating consortium institutions, to pioneer the exchange or import/export of East Asian language courses through videoconferencing delivery. Additionally the Institute for Chinese Studies and the East Asian Studies Center is currently developing partnerships with Chinese institutions in order to create access to advanced levels of rarely taught East Asian Less Commonly Taught Languages.
