Course description
This Uyghur language course is designed for learners with no knowledge of Uyghur. Students learn the modified Arabic alphabet adopted for modern Uyghur, basic grammar, and simple texts. The course emphasizes all four major communicative skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). Students are also introduced to Uyghur culture, history, and religion through readings, screenings, and class discussions. Learners achieve competence in expressing themselves in different contextual settings, develop the skills to conduct basic conversations, write short essays, gain familiarity with dialogues found in everyday speech, and comprehend sentences in short texts, poems, stories and songs.
