The new e-learning course makes it possible

A new educational course will provide additional opportunities for Mongolian youth to improve their Russian language skills. This project was supported by the Presidential Grants Foundation.

The project "Digital environment of the Russian language in Mongolia" is aimed at promoting the Russian language. The project is focused on improving the quality of Russian language skills among young students through the development of an electronic educational course in Russian as a foreign language. The course will be created based on the action-oriented approach within the communicative teaching methodology.

The project will be carried out in three phases. In the first phase the project team will develop a program for Mongolian teachers to stay in Ekaterinburg. The goal is to collect actual historical and cultural materials for the subsequent development of an electronic educational course in the Russian language.

During the second stage of the trip, the participants will work with professors of the Ural Federal University to develop an e-learning course. Teachers will also visit cultural and historical sites of the city for a deeper immersion in the language environment on the topics: "Historical Ekaterinburg", "Sport Ekaterinburg", "Theatre Ekaterinburg", "Industrial Ekaterinburg" and "Student Ekaterinburg".

In the third phase, the teachers of the Russian language in Mongolia will test the course that has been developed on their own students.
