In American universities, EALC refers to East Asian Languages and Civilizations or Cultures , and is the term for the department of East Asian studies , which studies this region of the world. In terms of scope, the region is East Asia , however defined roughly, the Sinosphere region of traditional Chinese cultural influence , and can be narrowly defined as China and Northeast Asia China , Japan , and Korea order of size and alphabetical order , as at the University of Chicago , or more broadly to also include Vietnam , Mongolia , and smaller groups such as Manchuria and Uyghur people Uyghurs hence shading into Southeast Asian studies and Central Asian studies as at Harvard . The department name, which features Languages , is because of the central place that language learning plays in these studies primary research and most secondary research in the region requires faculty in the language, but due to the foreignness of East Asian languages compared with English , students frequently require 4 or 5 years of coursework in the language before they have sufficient faculty to pursue studies. In the Sinosphere specifically, the time required to learn Chinese character s further adds to the time required, and thus EALC is a rather demanding course of study for those who do not already speak one of the languages in question. By the graduate level and advanced undergraduate , students are expected to have faculty with the language, and are frequently involved in then teaching it.
