Classes for heritage speakers

[Peirce, Gina M]

In response to Susan Bauckus's inquiry about classes for Russian heritage speakers in the US, the University of Pittsburgh's Summer Language Institute offered an intensive course for such speakers for the past three years, which included five weeks in Pittsburgh followed by five weeks in Moscow. Each student wrote a research paper in his/her own academic field, using source materials in Russian. This fall, an academic year language course for Russian heritage speakers will be introduced by the Pitt Slavic Department.
