Students will be given articles about actuality and politics taken from the Internet and the most popular newspapers and Russian reviews.
Teaching methods
The course is articulated in 30 hours of lesson, in which the linguistic competences are mainly developed, and in 40 hours of laboratory activities, that privilege the communicative competences and the reading comprehension of historycal, cultural and political articles.
30 hours of self-learning with multimedia material and research in the Virtual Learning Environment of the University of Bologna are recommended.
Assessment methods
The students are asked to take a written and an oral exam.
During the course, attending students can take two written mid-term tests (who have an attendance rate of no less than 70% of the lessons). The first mid-term test constitutes 30% of the final grade, while the second mid-term test constitutes 70%. To access the oral exam it is necessary to have at least 18/30 in the average of the written evaluations. If the attending student does not reach at least 18/30 in the average of the assessments of the written tests, he can repeat only the test with a negative result once during the session of the exams. After an attempt to recover a mid-term test, if the test is not sufficient, the total written exam must be taken, i.e. containing all the topics covered in the two mid-term tests. Having passed the two mid-term tests separately or in an integrated way will be a necessary condition to access the oral exam of Russian Language and Laboratory II.
The written test will verify the linguistic skills, in particular elements of morphology, vocabulary and reading comprehension (the facsimiles of the tests will be published on the virtual platforms of the University).
The written tests are valid for two sessions of the academic year in which they were held for the course DIS.
The oral exam is focused on the communicative competences, on the ability of oral expression with a presentation to discuss during the exam. In particular, attending students can do a presentation using one of the texts analized during the lessons.
The students that do not attend lessons are asked to prepare a paper of any topic related to Russian culture, history and politics to expose during the final oral exam.
