This course builds on the foundation laid in Russian 1 and gives students new opportunities to expand their vocabulary, learn new grammar, strengthen their proficiency gained in Russian 1, and communicate with confidence on familiar topics. In-class activities include instruction, a variety of activities to practice vocabulary and grammar, interpretive listening, and interpersonal speaking activities, as well as partner and group work. Learning is reinforced with video interviews, audios, and self-correcting exercises to learn all four communicative skills in an easy and thorough way.
