Class Details
An introduction to contemporary standard Russian, this course provides opportunities to acquire basic proficiency in all five language skills–listening comprehension, speaking, reading, writing, and culture–through immersion, intensive use of authentic materials, and a strong emphasis on the spoken word in all class activities. Greater emphasis is placed on writing in the second semester. For students who already know some Russian, consultation with the department is required before registering for any Russian language course in the sequence 101 through 252. In 2020-2021, RUSS 101 will be a hybrid course. Most of the instruction will be online in both big and small-group format, but there will be some in-person components as well. The final course format will be developed together with students, taking into account health and safety considerations, pedagogical needs, and learning preferences.
