American Home (Vladimir, Russia) Writing Exchange / Alternative Spring Break 2014

[Johnson, David Matthew]

Dear Russian Language Teaching Colleagues,

The American Home in Vladimir, Russia, in cooperation with Dr. Alexei Altonen and the English faculty of the Department of Philology at Vladimir State University, is pleased to announce the 2013-2014 Russian-American Student Writing Exchange – an opportunity to provide advanced language students additional opportunities to write in Russian and communicate with their Russian peers.


This year we would like to pair whole classes of third and fourth year American students with their Russian peers from advanced English classes at Vladimir State University.


If you or your colleagues would like to provide your advanced Russian language students with additional writing and communication opportunities – or if you have any questions about the Writing Exchange, the Intensive Russian Language Program, or any other aspect of the American Home‘s work – please contact me by September 1, 2013 (david.matthew.johnson at vanderbilt.edu).
