The Introductory Uyghur course will be focusing on developing communication skills in target language. The main goal of the first semester (first four weeks) is to familiarize students with the Uyghur Arabic alphabet, important phonetic rules, introduce basic grammar, and obtain four language skills such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The main aim of the second semester (another four weeks) of this course is to continue developing a foundation of Uyghur grammar and vocabulary. Students will learn new verb tenses along with other grammar constructions and new vocabulary. In addition to the textbook, some other authentic audio and video materials, and pictures, illustrating the cultural life of Uyghurs will be available. During the classes, learners will be given an opportunity for personal expression in the form of partner and group works.
