Course Information

Description

Part two of a two part introductory course in modern Russian language and culture, designed for heritage speakers of Russian, i.e., students who were born in the US into a Russian-speaking family or students whose linguistic competence had not been completely formed before coming to the US. This course addresses the specific needs of Russian heritage learners at all levels of language competence, including reading and writing in Russian with particular emphasis on orthography, syntax, stylistic devices, and cultural literacy. Taught entirely in Russian. Completion of both RUSS Ha and RUSS Hb satisfies the foreign language requirement and also counts as two courses towards a citation in Russian.
