Course Descriptions

This course is an intermediate level of Russian language. Designed for students who have the basic knowledge of Russian, it aims at continuation of building their linguistic and communicative skills in the four areas of language learning, i.e., listening, speaking, reading, and writing. By the end of the course students will acquire a vocabulary that will enable them to go shopping in a Russian cultural context and to order a meal in a restaurant. They will learn to talk about their university studies and life on campus. Special emphasis is placed on enhancing grammar skills and vocabulary through classroom assignments and drills as well as structured exposure to contemporary Russian cultural productions. Materials for analysis and discussion include short literary texts (adapted for intermediate learners), films, music videos, and internet resources such as Russian social media. All texts and materials (except the required textbook) will be distributed by the instructor.
