HowToBefriendRussianGrammar

This course is designed for students who have already studied the basic Russian Grammar and demonstrate low-intermediate-level skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing (OPI 1.0).

The program is aimed at reviewing and using in context the basic grammatical structures of contemporary standard Russian such as cases, aspects of verbs, and verbs of motion.

In classroom and homework activities, students will analуze and drill Russian grammatical phenomena by putting them into speaking context, practice incorporating words, phrases and expressions of coherence and cohesion into their writing and speaking.

Sequenced listening and reading activities will allow them to develop strategies for improving their comprehension of texts (short stories, biographies of significant people, and so on) while learning about contemporary Russia in its cultural context.

Home and class exercises, compositions, presentations will help students to make progress in all of these areas.
