Russian language online course description
Russian language online course gives you an opportunity to study via Internet and to individually plan your time within the general syllabus.
Russian Language Online Course is based on the functional approach. That is, we do not only teach you grammar, vocabulary and the sounds of the language. We enable you to speak, to perform speech acts making use of the necessary words and grammar structures, etc. The multimedia enable you to develop your listening skills in Russian. The hypertextual presentation of the material makes it possible to integrate different ways of receiving the information, thus strengthening the memorizing process. Using different channels of perception (audio, visual and verbal) for doubling the information makes the course fit the psycho physiological qualities of any student. Using such a specific form of language activity as songs activates associative memory mechanisms. On-line and off-line communication with the teacher develops writing skills in Russian.
