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 in Russian.

Advanced Russian through the nineteenth- and twentieth-century

to build the students' vocabulary and improve their morphology and syntax
through a variety of written and oral exercises as well as structured
conversation. Literary texts by Russia's leading writers will help us
build narrative and conceptual proficiency. They will contribute to such
important areas of language study as creative composition, talking
about emotions and identity, and becoming familiar with Russia's
traditions and culture. Class size:
