  • RUSSIAN 3003: Heritage Russian I

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course is the first of two for students who speak or spoke Russian in their homes but do not know how to read and/or write in Russian. Students taking this course learn how to read and write in Russian; the course assumes no literacy skills in Russian. The course will help students build on their oral fluency in Russian to develop literacy in Russian. The focus is on the acquisition of contemporary standard Russian (CSR) in the Moscow dialect. Students who speak other dialects in their home environments will be encouraged to recognize the difference between their home dialect and CSR and acquire CSR in order to use it in professional settings. One of the most important aspects of this work is to develop sensitivity towards informal and formal speech and writing styles, since students without a formal educational experience in Russian may have little training to speak and write in formal (professional) contexts.

    Note: This course is for students who grew up speaking Russian in their home environment.
