Advanced Russian for Professional Purposes

The course is designed to continue introducing students to the fundamentals of English-Russian translation and other types of written interlingual communication as well as using online tools for linguistic research. In this course, we are going to work with journalistic and other types of texts and translate them, as well as summarize and/or rewrite them in the other language. While home assignments are mostly focused on writing and analyzing written texts (although some assignments require watching relevant videos), classroom work is mostly oral, which addresses the needs for listening and speaking practice.
