credits This intensive course is designed as a continuation
for students who have completed Beginning Russian 101. Our focus on speaking,
listening, reading, and writing skills continues through cultural context,
video materials, songs, and literary analysis. This course culminates in a
4-week June program in St. Petersburg, where students will attend classes
(earning an additional 4 credits) and participate in a cultural program while
living in Russian families. Successful completion of the intensive sequence
qualifies the student to pursue semester or yearlong study in St. Petersburg at
Smolny College of the Liberal Arts, a joint
educational venture of Bard and St. Petersburg University. Class

This
course is designed to continue refining and engaging students’ practice of
speaking, reading and writing Russian. Advanced grammar topics are addressed
through a wide variety of texts and contexts, with emphasis on literary
analysis and the modern press. Students expand their vocabulary and range of
stylistic nuance by writing response papers and presenting oral reports.
Study includes a semester-long project that provides an opportunity to build
our own Web design dictionary; to research aspects of modern Russian culture;
and to present findings in a collaborative creative effort, such as a play,
“news broadcast”, or a concert.

Advanced
Russian through Reading and Writing is designed for students with at least two
years of study of the language and for native speakers who wish to review their
knowledge of grammar and practice reading and speaking Russian. By focusing on
the original literary works by such canonical writers as Chekhov, Pushkin, and
Dostoevsky, the course aims to improve students’ grammar, morphology and syntax
through a variety of written and oral exercises and structural conversation.
The texts chosen for reading and analysis will help students build narrative
and conceptual proficiency. Writing in Russian will be an important part of the
course.
