RUS2111-01-SP12 Intensive Russian 2

The second part of the complete basic level of Russian for full-time students, this course is also the second semester of the first year of Russian for those students not enrolled in full-time Russian study. The course includes a two-hour block of instruction that meets twice per week. Both hours are taught consecutively and offer the student an introduction to vocabulary, word formation, and grammar, as well as the basic elements of Russian sentence structure. Emphasis is on the development of basic conversational sentences and common constructions used in discourse. The student is given the opportunity to practice the content conversationally through teacher-student drills, question and answer sessions, and topically-oriented activities. Students are encouraged to ask questions and interact with the instructor. Students who enroll in the entire Basic Course (full-time Russian study) must enroll in this course.
