------------------------
 
For more than 35 years, American Councils has offered quality-assured,
intensive language study programs in Russia for thousands of students and
scholars. Participants of these programs receive approximately twenty hours
per week of in-class instruction in Russian grammar, phonetics,
conversation, and cultural studies. Students greatly benefit from individual
attention in our small classes of two to six students, and from interaction
with host faculty who have extensive experience in second language
acquisition. All participants receive undergraduate- or graduate-level
academic credit through Bryn Mawr College.
 
American Councils emphasizes language immersion outside of the academic
program as well. During the summer term, students may take advantage of
volunteer opportunities at sites such as local public schools, charity
organizations, and international NGOs. Cultural excursions, discussion
groups, and other extracurricular activities in Russian are offered in each
city. Students also meet at least two hours a week with peer tutors
recruited from the host university. Finally, most students choose to live
with Russian host-families where they can become fully immersed in the
language, culture and cuisine of Russia.
 
American Councils is able to award scholarships to qualified participants,
thanks to grant support from the U.S. Department of Education
(Fulbright-Hays)* and the U.S. Department of State (Title VIII). In
addition, recipients of FLAS, Boren, Benjamin A. Gilman and university
fellowships frequently apply these funds to study on our programs.
