New Trends in Russian
The aim of the course is to give students tools and methods for understanding Russian as it is spoken today. Since the end of the Soviet era, almost every aspect of the Russian language has been affected by social and political change, from grammar to lexicon, from syntax to speech etiquette. A variety of classroom activities, both creative and analytical, helps students develop confidence and skill in reading Russian newspapers, watching TV and movies, enjoying songs and jokes. The course grade will be based on student homework (analysis of new texts of various genres), participation in class discussion and two exams (midterm and final).
