RUS 101 - Elementary Russian I


Instructor
Ewington

For beginners. No previous knowledge of Russian required or expected. This course develops students’ basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing Russian. We begin with the Cyrillic alphabet and fundamental sounds and structures of Russian. As the semester progresses, students learn to communicate about culture, geography, and daily life. Thanks to a “flipped classroom” model (with the professor’s grammar lectures online), RUS 101 devotes class time to engaging interactive activities. The course requires work with audio, video, and computer exercises as well as participation in twice weekly AT sessions with a native speaker assistant.
