Please note: this is archived course information from 2022 for RUSSIAN 200.
Description
Course Overview
RUSSIAN 200 is designed for students who have completed RUSSIAN 101 or who have a comparable knowledge of Russian. The course revises the essential grammar of Russian covered in the first-year course: declension – the forms and meanings of the grammatical cases; conjugation – formation and government of verbs; verbal aspect; morphology for vocabulary building. This essential grammar is consolidated in context - through conversation practice, listening comprehension and the reading of a variety of authentic texts.
Objectives
Russian at Stage II aims to equip students with a foundation sufficient to develop further proficiency in the language through subsequent independent use of Russian language sources – print and electronic media, general and specialised literature.
If you have no or limited knowledge of Russian please enrol in RUSSIAN 100 or RUSSIAN 100G.
You will need to complete a Language Proficiency Declaration to ensure you are enrolling in the right course for your level. This will be provided to you through Student Services Online after you have enrolled.
