Russian language and culture programs in SIBERIA

[Cosmopolitan]

Dear Colleagues,


I would like to take this opportunity to let you know about the success of this past summer's programme that we were running in Siberia and to invite you and your students and colleagues to participate in the winter and the summer LANGUAGE AND CULTURE PROGRAMS that our Educational Centre "Cosmopolitan" (http://cosmo-nsk.com/ ) will run in the year 2010 in delightful countryside just outside Novosibirsk, the administrative capital of Siberia and the centre of Russia. 



This past summer at the International Language Camp we had a really good team of volunteer teachers and international students from the UK, the USA, France, the Netherlands, Mexico, Austria, Canada, and Equador, and many of the students and teachers have expressed a wish to return either to the Winter Season or to one or more of next year's summer programs. The group of volunteer foreign teachers we had at each of the four sessions was a great team, and the quality of teaching was excellent.  All the Russian students were most positive and really appreciated the fact that foreign teachers had come from all over the world to teach them. All those who came along as foreign students said that they really appreciated the Russian lessons and had made a very good progress in learning Russian. The Russian lessons were all carefully arranged to suit exactly the needs of each student. The photos of the past summer's sessions and the teachers' reports will be available on our web site very soon.




At this point I would like to invite you, your students and colleagues to come and participate in the Language and Culture Programs that we will be running in Siberia next January and during the summer of 2010. Being comprehensive and unique, and offering very competitive prices, our programs will be an attractive option for your students whom we invite to participate as volunteer teachers or as international students of the Russian course. Please help us spread the word about our programs to your students and colleagues. Thanks for your support!

At the 'Siberian Wonderland' Winter Session in January and at the International Language Summer Camps from June through to August children and students 
from all over Siberia are brought together to study English and other 
languages under the guidance of volunteer teachers from all over the world, 
and students from all the different countries come to learn Russian and get 
a first-hand experience of the Russian culture and lifestyle.

The program is unique in bringing volunteer teachers and international 
students from all over the world to Siberia to live, work and study in a 
residential setting with Russian students and teachers. This structured 
residential system seeks to develop language, social, communicative, 
educational, cultural and health-promoting skills to all participants in an 
interesting way according to age and ability.

The aims of this comprehensive program are achieved  through the use of 
role-play, creativity workshops, exciting cultural and social activities, 
and excursions, which, in addition to the structured lessons, more than 
provide for a truly unique and beneficial experience which is not to be 
missed.

We have been running these programs for fifteen years already. For the past 
years volunteer teachers from Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, China, 
Denmark, Fiji, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Hong Kong, 
India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Singapore, Sweden, 
Switzerland, Spain, the United States of America, as well as university 
students and school children from the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Greece, 
Sweden, Switzerland and Equador have participated in our summer and winter language 
camp programs.

It is a fact that many students and teachers return to the program year 
after year as a testament to the success of the programme.

For more information on the programs and to read about our former 
participants' experiences, please visit our website http://cosmo-nsk.com/
