Program highlights:
. Application open to beginning through advanced levels 
. Small classroom environment where Russian is the only language used
. 4.5 hours of instruction Monday - Friday; 3-4 hours of homework per night

The program features a Core and a Fluency Component. In the Core Component students focus on structural and lexical acquisition and competency through student-centered tasks. This Core Component is supported by a textbook to help students follow the course curriculum and to further strengthen their skills through self-study out of class.  The afternoon hours are devoted to the Fluency Component, in which content areas relevant to the target culture are introduced and a variety of authentic real-life resources are employed to encourage a holistic understanding of the target language and culture. Critical thinking in the target language is emphasized in this part of the curriculum.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss the program in greater detail.
