Special registration to World Russian Forum in Washington, DC

[Richard Robin]

Dear SEELANGovtsy!

We invite Russian language teachers to join us for the 27th annual World
Russian Forum to be held May 19-20, 2008 on Capitol Hill, at the George
Washington University, and the Russian Cultural Center in Washington, DC.
The main purpose of the Forum is to discuss and generate new ideas for the
development and broad expansion of U.S.-Russia cooperation in global
security, business and commerce, science and education, and other key
areas. There will be a specific session for Russian language instructors
that will focus on understanding, analyzing, and interpreting the rich
content on Russian business, politics, and educational issues in order to
devise ways in which these new insights can be transferred into the Russian
language classroom, and more specifically the Business Russian classroom.
In-depth discussion will be led by experienced business language
professional Dr. Maria Bourlatskaya from the Lauder Institute at the
University of Pennsylvania. Participants will be immersed in the Russian
language throughout the duration of the program.

The program includes a reception Monday night at the russian Embassy.

The GW-CIBER is subsidizing the majority of the $250 registration fee
for Russian instructors who are interested in attending the World
Russian Forum. The reduced fee is $100. This includes the reception
Monday night at the russian Embassy. You have to register thorough

share this information with your graduate students and
other educators who might be interested in participating!
