Russian III leads to A2.1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The course is the third part of a five-semester Russian course. In this course, participants extend their ability to express themselves, in particular regarding daily life (eating, shopping) and work and education (daily routines); it also extends participants’ grammar skills.

Participants are able to use Russian adequately in selected areas. The focus is on speaking, reading comprehension, and listening comprehension skills at A2.1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, and on developing cultural competence.
