Syllabus
Course Objectives
The course aims to provide basic knowledge of Russian through the development of all the linguistic skills. It also aims to present an outline of the morphological system. The course aims to enable students to orient themselves in everyday life situations and to understand and write short simple texts. This course aims to improve Russian language competence reaching the A2 level of the CEFR.
Course Prerequisites
The course has no specific requirements and aims to provide a basic knowledge of the Russian nominal and verbal morphology.
Teaching Methods
The course consists of lectures (modulo docente) and year-long practical language classes taught by Collaboratore ed Esperto Linguistico (CEL).
Assessment Methods
Written preparatory tests and oral exam. The oral exam will test students' knowledge and language skills.
In order to access the oral exam, the student must pass the written preparatory tests which consists of:
- a comprehensive test, regarding the CEL's activity (dictation, lexis, listening, written comprehension and written production);
- the olistic test, regarding the activity of the lecturer (grammar test).
Students who regularly attend CEL’s classes (reaching at least 70% attendance in the first semester and 70% attendance in the second semester) will be able to choose the in itinere evaluation (prove parziali) during the academic year, according to the information provided by the CEL. The attainment of all partial tests (prove parziali) exonerates the student from the final comprehensive test regarding the CEL's activity.
Moreover, attending students who have taken all partial tests during the year, are allowed to take the failed partial tests during the global exam sessions (June, September, January).
Students are not allowed to sit the final oral exam unless they have previously passed the written preparatory tests (CEL comprehensive test and lecturer grammar test).
All components of the preliminary tests, if passed, are valid for 13 months.
For procedural and linguistic clarifications, students can contact the official teacher for the course, prof. Erica Pinelli (e-mail: erica.pinelli@unipv.it).
