This module follows RU2203. It 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 RU2203 are reinforced in this course and further points of grammar and syntax are introduced. Students will translate passages from English to Russian and develop comprehension skills in response to contemporary audio-visual and online material. Material for translation from Russian to English engages with key historical and cultural events. Spoken Russian is improved through small-group oral tuition classes with a native language instructor.
