A course for students with
little or no previous knowledge of Russian that introduces the fundamentals of
the spoken and written language as well as Russian culture. We will emphasize
conversation, reading, and written proficiency and encourage creative
expression in autobiographical and fictional compositions. Audio-visual
materials will be an integral part of the learning process. In addition to
regular class meetings, students are required to attend a one-hour-per-week
tutorial. Beginning Russian will be followed by an intensive 8-credit course in
the spring semester and a 4-credit summer language and culture program in St.
Petersburg, Russia.

This course is designed to continue refining and engaging students' practice of speaking, reading, and writing Russian. Students will expand their vocabulary and range of stylistic nuance by writing regular response papers and presenting oral reports. Increasing oral proficiency is a primary aim of this course, as well as developing reading and viewing strategies appropriate to the widest variety of written texts and Russian television and film. We will focus on the syntax of the complex Russian sentence and on grammatical nuances. The class will be conducted only in Russian.
