As most courses taught at the University High Anthropological School are unique and not typical for other academic institutions of the Republic of Moldova, we try to ensure the teaching with the necessary textbooks:

• Cultural Anthropology: L.A. Mosionjnic. Man in Front of Culture. Textbook. Kishinev. 2002.

• Ethnology: L.A. Mosionjnic. Anthropology of civilizations. Textbook. Kishinev. 2000.

We are working on a textbook of Moldova’s history and on manuals and students’ books on linguistic disciplines. It is worthwhile to mention that most of the practical courses are supported by teaching aids that enable use of interactive techniques. Particularly, these are special packages of materials with functional utility for different stages during the lesson (of Romanian, English, Russian, Fundamentals of Communication, etc.).
