Section Description
This course was designed for second-year Russian language students on principles of communicative and task-based language teaching to emphasize and continue working on the further development and improving students’ linguistic proficiency and intercultural competence. The course will focus on the development of Oral Communication Skills; using the Russian language to enhance students’ ability to speak and listen effectively and negotiate for meaning across a variety of topics and contexts. This course will prioritize the comprehension and production of language, which means that at least 50% of the course’s time will be spent actively using the language. The class will engage students with highly relevant (familiar and new) topics and will focus on building/expanding their active and passive vocabulary. Overall, students will be reviewing/learning essential aspects of Russian grammar and lexicon to prepare themselves to enter advanced-level language courses. The course will also help students to increase their overall cultural competence – an ability to demonstrate a complex understanding of cultural differences and recognize the influence of cultural norms, customs, and traditions to interact appropriately with members of targeted (Russian) culture.
