This continuation of Beginning Russian further develops the four skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. While there is some grammar review, the course expands upon the basics of Russian grammar and broadens the students’ active use of the language. As the students’ use of the language grows, more communicative activities are added. Extra readings from a number of sources supplement the textbook, and different aspects of Russian culture are discussed. A variety of media including cassette tapes, videos, CD-ROMs, and the World Wide Web are used in the process of learning the language. Not offered 2017 -2018
