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. Class size: 18

Russian through the nineteenth- and twentieth-century prose and poetry is

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: 15

Futurism, Cubo - and Ego-Futurism, Trans-sense poetry

Russian, the course aims to enhance the students’ proficiency in the key
