online Russian course from the University of Iowa

[Vardanyan, Ashot]

ONLINE CONVERSATIONAL RUSSIAN-1, 041:005: EXW, Fall 2010

UNIVERSITY OF IOWA

 

The Russian Program at the University of Iowa (UI) offers a facilitated ONLINE class for beginner Russian learners - those interested to do so by independent study. Given the course is a "by correspondence" type, its requirements and grading are also simplified. 

 

The nine lessons are designed in keeping with online learning. The essential components of the course are available through live interenet, email, phone and personal communication with the instructor and Iowa Courses Online (ICON) system that includes audio and video tools, internet links, and electronic course materials. The audience of this class may include anyone curious about Russia and Russian, including adults, students, non-students, Russian heritage persons, their parents and other family members. 


The course counts towards General Education but not the Foreign Language Requirement. For the latter, i.e., for the further profound study of Russian, students will need to take a universal placement test. Thus, this course can serve as an excellent training for that test.

 

The textbook is "Ruslan Russian 1" by John Langran and Natalya Veshnyeva, 2008, ISBN 0981882208 + workbook by John Langran, 2008, ISBN 0981882215 or 0981882218. 

 

This workshop-like course is offered through the Division of Continuing Education (DCE). You may sign up for it directly on ISIS - the UI course registration system, or by using the online Pre-Authorization Form <http://www.continuetolearn.uiowa.edu/ccp/enroll.htm> , calling (319) 335-2575, 1-800-272-6430, or emailing credit-programs-register at uiowa.edu
