RUSS 2002, Intermediate Russian II, aims to build oral and written communication skills in Russian at the intermediate level and improve cultural awareness and literacy of the Russian-speaking world. RUSS 2002 contributes to students’ education in the humanities by teaching both the Russian language and the humanistic cultures of the Russian-speaking world. 

This semester we will continue to develop all four modalities of language use: listening, speaking, writing and reading; study new grammar topics and complete our survey of the fundamental structures of Russian; expand our vocabulary base, both active and passive; and communicate spontaneously on a variety of topics (including literature and reading, sports and leisure, health and the body, and family relations); and most importantly, enjoy the richness of Russian language and culture!
