Advanced practicum in reading, writing, and conversation. RUS 402 (IL) builds on and expands the language competence acquired in Russian 200 and 401 and is taught entirely in Russian to ensure complete immersion. Students will work with a variety of texts and audio-visual materials on topics of general interest. Upon successful completion of the course, students will acquire basic competence in representing points of view other than their own, defending an argument, and hypothesizing on a more abstract level. The course also aims to increase the students' understanding of Russian culture and the Russian way of life.
