Module description

This module (followed by RU2204 in Semester 2) is the language track at second level for students who took the advanced modules (RU1005 and RU1006) at first level. The most important elements of Russian grammar revised in the first year are reinforced in this course, with further key points of intermediate Russian grammar introduced. Students will develop comprehension skills in response to contemporary audio-visual and online material and improve their written proficiency in the language. Oral skills are developed through small-group oral classes with a native language instructor.
