Learning outcomes

Students show an advanced competency in the Russian language that allows them to move confidently in all communicative spheres as well as to carry out their professional activities in Russian-speaking contexts. They know the morphosyntactic structures of the language in a deepened way and are familiar with the lexical, stylistic and pragmatic analysis of great complexity oral and written texts that may include substandard and specialized languages. Their linguistic competence progress indicatively up to the level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference, which allows students to effectively interpret the partner-linguistic and cultural codes in any subject within a communicative relationship.

Course contents

The course is divided in two parallel parts.

The first part (30 hours) will deal with linguistic, stilistic and argumentative analysis of non literary texts. The aim of this course will be the development of analytical skills through writing (analysis and summary).

The second part of the course (30 hours) will focus on particularly complex linguistic structures (complex sentence syntax, participles and gerunds, negative and indefinite pronouns, numerals, verbal prefixes). Some of the analysed texts will be translated, using bilingual and monolingual dictionaries in the proper way. Some significant translation cases will be discussed.

To the theoretical course is combined a practical linguistic training (36 hours), which allows the student to achieve good oral and written skills, referring to the analyzed subjects. The practical course will deal also with phraseology and lexical units, typical of analyzed textual typologies.

Задачи практического курса: активизировать языковые и речевые навыки учащихся; углубить знакомство с лексико-стилистическими особенностями различных стилистических жанров русского языка; закрепить знания по русской грамматике, продолжить формирование коммуникативной и страноведческой компетенции на материале социально значимых тем; подготовить студентов к пониманию неадаптированных текстов публицистического и разговорного жанра (язык прессы, телепередач, документальных и художественных фильмов), а также к самостоятельному анализу и воспроизведению письменных текстов и устных высказываний с выражением собственной оценки на актуальную тематику.

Работающие студенты и носители языка должны согласовать специальную программу с преподавателем.
