Abstract

Russian V leads to A2.2+ level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The course is the final part of a five-semester Russian course. In this course, participants extend their ability to express themselves, in particular regarding daily life (holidays) and personality (biography, education, and professional career); it also extends participants’ grammar skills.

The focus is on speaking, reading comprehension, and listening comprehension skills at A2.2+ level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, and on developing cultural competence. Special importance is attached to an academic environment and student life.
