Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)

To enable students to practise spoken and written Russian by studying grammatical structures and vocabulary and applying the rules of phonetics. To develop basic passive (oral decoding, comprehension of written texts) and active (production of texts and dialogues) oral and written skills. At the end of a (successful) course, students will have reached level A1/A2 according to the CEFR, and will have acquired an initial communicative competence, including some explicit metalinguistic knowledge of Russian.
As well as developing a strong ability to analyse information, synthesise and write, students will learn to think critically, and will lay the foundations for an understanding of the social and cultural issues in Russian-speaking regions.
