Abstract—The present study examined Mongolian trilingual
learners’ (Mongolian-Chinese-English) (n = 100) responses to
beliefs on learning English relative clause in order to determine
the extent to which their beliefs are consistent with major
constructs underlying the Standards for Foreign Language
teaching of Mongolian trilingual learners. The purpose of this
study is to provide direction for third language education and
future research. Analysis of the data suggests that the structure
of the English relative clause is similar to Mongolian relative
clause. The Mongolian trilingual learners believe that
instruction should be delivered either in the target language or
in their mother tongue, yet not in Chinese, when they are
learning English; The development of the teaching material also
be required in Mongolian and English.
Index Terms—Beliefs, English relative clause, mongolian
trilingual learners.
