Elementary Russian I

MTTh 11:00am - 1:30pm, with additional work completed online
May 28 - July 5

Only open to students with NO prior knowledge of Russian. Students with prior knowledge must take a placement test.

This course/section of Elementary Russian (see full description below) is a “hybrid” of traditional and online learning. Students will meet face-to-face for three classes (about three hours each) per week, and will also complete online assignments.  This is a four-credit course, meaning that you are expected to engage with the materials for 10-12 hours outside of class (roughly one hour every day), including your online assignments, written homework, and other study. By working outside of class on aspects of how Russian works, we will have more time in class to focus on using Russian to communicate, implementing what is practiced online. Online assignments will include reading dialogues and grammar explanations, and completing exercises to test reading and listening comprehension, vocabulary and grammar, and speaking. Some material will be presented for the first time online, but there will always be time for review and questions in the face-to-face sessions. There will also be written homework, typically due at each face-to-face class session. 

Elementary Russian is an intensive introductory course in spoken and written contemporary standard Russian, intended for students with no prior experience in the language. It develops proficiency in all four skills: speaking, reading, listening, and writing, as well as the basics of Russian grammar. It also introduces students to Russian life, culture, history, geography, and traditions through authentic target-language texts, websites, various media, and other supplementary materials
