University of Virginia Summer Language Institute

[Rachel Taylor Stauffer]

Dear Colleagues:

Please advertise this opportunity to students who may be interested:

The University of Virginia's Russian Summer Language Institute (June 13 - August 12, 2005) is an intensive program offering a twelve-credit course covering the equivalent of first- and second-year Russian. The approach is proficiency-based, using Golosa as the primary text. Students live in a language residence where tutoring, additional practice in conversation, and cultural activities are provided by a resident graduate instructor.

Summer 2005 will be the twenty fourth anniversary of the University of Virginia's Summer Russian Language Institute. The Institute is unusual in offering the equivalent of not one, but   two  years of Russian in the eight and one-half week Summer Session. Participants in the Institute earn 12 University of Virginia credits, and those who are regular University of Virginia students take RUSS 301 and 302 in the academic year following the Institute, should they wish to continue with the language. Students completing the program should be prepared to profit fully from the experience of study abroad.

The Russian Summer Language Institute welcomes applications from high school students.
