Susie,
Thank you for placing the message on the SEELANG.
I'm thinking that we could do it in about a week again saying that this is a
unique opportunity to take Romanian and B/C/S in the summer because we
received outside funding. What do you think?

From: Donald Loewen <djloewen at BINGHAMTON.EDU>
Subject: Russian Reading Exams -- preparatory materials
Can anyone recommend a good book or set of study materials designed to help
graduate students develop reading proficiency in Russian? (This is for a
student who's had two years of Russian, but now really needs to concentrate
on reading proficiency.) I remember once using a text that featured
newspaper articles, and had good vocab-building exercises associated with
each text. It was intended to be part of a standard multi-skills course, I
think, but something like that would probably be helpful. Materials that
concentrate on subject matter from the social sciences will be most useful.
With thanks for any advice,
Don Loewen
