Program overview
The Khmer language program primarily teaches you listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation skills in Khmer, while also introducing Cambodia's history, culture, society, and economy. Core courses include Basic Khmer, Advanced Khmer, Khmer Conversation, Khmer Listening, Khmer Reading, Khmer Writing, Translation Theory and Practice, and Introduction to Cambodia. Chinese universities like Beijing Foreign Studies University and Guangxi University for Nationalities have strong experience in Khmer teaching, with excellent faculty and opportunities to study or intern in Cambodia. This major is ideal for students passionate about language learning, who love Southeast Asian culture, and are willing to take on a less commonly taught language. If you're interested in cross-cultural communication or want to work in fields related to Cambodia in the future, this is a great choice.
