RUSSIAN LANGUAGE 2

The course consists of a Professor’s module held in the first semester and a year round language practice course (“esercitazioni”) closely integrated with the module and coordinated by the Professor. The general aim is to consolidate the linguistic competences needed to understand the Russian language as it is used in Russian-speaking countries as well as in everyday communicative situations (both in general and in academic or specialized contexts).
The general aim is to further consolidate the linguistic competences needed to understand the Russian language at a Threshold level (B1 on the CEFR).

Knowledge and understanding:
The student will gain theoretical and applied knowledge of the Russian language as it is used in Russian-speaking countries (level B1 on the CEFR). The course will have a particular focus on the morphological system of Russian language.
Applying knowledge and understanding:
The student will be able to recognize and describe morpho-syntactic phenomena of Russian language; to interact in Russian language in formal and informal situations; to understand, analyse and produce autonomously oral and written texts in Russian produced in everyday context and translate non very complex texts from Russian into Italian.
Making judgements:
The student will be able to retrieve and use digital sources; to use communication strategies (B1 level); to analyse and discuss complex texts in Russian.
Communicative Competences: /Communication skills
The student will be able to recognize the differences between linguistic structures of Italian and Russian languages; to appropriately interact and communicate in a clear and well structured way with a limited number of mistakes (in so doing, the student will demonstrate they have reached the B1 level of the CEFR); to translate the different textual types.
Learning skills:
The student will be able to develop specific methodological tools in the study of the various materials (printed and in digital form). The student will be able to self-assess their progress with respect to their metalinguistic and communicative competence in Russian. In the following academic year, the student will take advantage of what they have learned in the Russian Language 2 course to study the contents of the Russian Language 3 course.

A2 level of the CEFR, obtained after having successfully passed the Russian Language 1 course.

The Russian Language 2 course is composed of two parts:
1. Professor’s module - Morphology and first elements of syntax (with particular attention to the Russian motion verbs and verbal aspects).
2. Language practice ("esercitazioni") with the CEL to develop the B1 level (written and spoken language).
The course will comprise the following articles: the formation and use of the imperative; the adjective (comparative and superlative); pronouns and indefinite adverbs; numerals (ordinals, cardinals and collective). The use of Russian motion verbs and verbal aspects will also be confronted.
