Subject Description | This subject involves advanced grammar, translation in both directions, composition, and close study of literary texts. By the end of the subject students should demonstrate a very solid control of the grammatical system; demonstrate a fairly large active and passive vocabulary, sufficient for translating medium-difficulty texts (Russian to English) without a dictionary and difficult ones with a dictionary; be able to write and converse in Russian on relatively serious topics (e.g. social or political issues); understand normal spoken Russian (e.g. lectures, broadcast talks) on any general topic; and understand the content and literary structure of selected literary texts (by commenting and translating). Students should also develop a deeper knowledge of Russian society and culture. |
Assessment | A 1-hour exam on the language component, a 1-hour exam on the literature component, a 15-minute oral exam, and written work totalling 1250 words. |
