Russian Language Winter School, 2023, 8 weeks (or 4-7 weeks), Yerevan,

Host Institution: ASPIRANTUM
Website: https://aspirantum.com/courses/russian-language-winter-school

Dates: 05-Nov-2023 - 29-Dec-2023
Location: Yerevan, Yerevan

Focus: In 2023, a 56-day winter school will be held for those who wish
to improve their written and oral modern Russian skills and their
ability to read and interpret Russian texts from various periods.
Participants can also expand their knowledge of conversational Russian
quickly and effectively.

The 8-week winter school for the Russian language provides 160 hours
of rigorous instruction over 40 days, from Monday to Friday each week.
Each day, participants will receive 4 hours of Russian language
classes. In the application form, applicants may select a 4-7 weeks
program.
Minimum Education Level: No Minimum

Description:
The ASPIRANTUM School of Languages and Cultures cordially invites
international participants to join the Russian Language Winter School
from November 5 to December 29, 2023, in Yerevan, Armenia.

The Russian language winter classes will cover the following
components every day to foster the Russian language knowledge of
participants at a rapid pace:

Grammar: Every day class will cover the main grammatical concepts of
the modern Russian language.

Vocabulary: During the 8 weeks course it is anticipated that the
participants will learn around 2000 new Russian words from literary
language as well as words used in everyday life.

Listening: The classes are scheduled in a way that participants with
the guidance of an experienced instructor learn the Russian language
through songs and movies as well as watching and listening to news and
other short videos about interesting and sometimes funny topics and
stories about Russian realities.

Speaking: Every day the Russian language classes will push the
students to exercise their speaking abilities through discussions,
conversations, and interpretations about different texts and topics.
As nearly everyone speaks Russian fluently in Yerevan the speaking
skills of participants may be advanced during everyday conversations
in the streets, shops, and other places of Yerevan.

Writing: Each day the participants of the Russian language class will
have assignments and homework to complete for the next day. The
homework will primarily involve writing assignments and those will be
assessed by the teacher and discussed the next day’s Russian language
class.

Reading: Every day students will read and discuss political texts,
prose and poetry, conversations, and news. The corpus of texts to be
read and discussed during the classes comprises different prominent
Russian authors, daily conversations, and news of the day.

Levels:

This Russian language school is designed for participants, at least 18
years old, who want to make well-grounded progress in their knowledge
of the Russian language and deepen their knowledge of Russian grammar,
colloquial speech, and literary language.

The Russian language winter school 2023 will have 1 group of up to 12
participants (previously, the ASPIRANTUM Russian language groups have
usually had 2-8 students). The participants must have an upper
elementary level of Russian language knowledge before starting the
classes with ASPIRANTUM. We do not offer beginner classes or advanced
classes in the Russian language.

ASPIRANTUM’s Russian language schools are organized so that
undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, professors, and
anyone interested in learning Russian benefit from it the most. So
everyone with upper elementary level of Russian is welcome to apply
and participate in ASPIRANTUM’s Russian language winter school from
November 5 till December 29 in Yerevan.
