My son is going to be a high school senior this fall. He is interested in either being an exchange student or teaching English in Russia for a semester or so.
Can anyone suggest a program we can explore to help him improve his Russian skills?

This isn't far from any beaten track, but the January issue of ASEEES's NewsNet (http://aseees.org/newsnet/2014-01.pdf) has a piece by Robert W. Orttung, "How the Olympics in Sochi Differ from Previous Games" (18-20), which also has a section for further reading at the end.
Best,
Elise

SEELANGStsy!
I'm offering my Soviet civilization students an extra credit opportunity: to watch an hour of the Olympic opening ceremonies on Friday (the Russian Club is hosting a "watch" party). I'd also like them to read an article (or two if they're short) to which they can respond. It could be an opinion piece, an overview, a news report, a magazine article, etc. I want something accessible and not overly inflammatory. Suggestions?
Gratefully,
Nicole
