Tuition: terms and programmes

The International Russian Language Courses provide group and individual tuition to students on all levels (from complete beginners to advanced learners). Classes are offered:
а) on a short-term basis, traditionally covering a period of 2-10 weeks;
b) on a semester basis;
c) a full-year programme.
As an alternative, a more flexible approach tailored to the student’s individual needs is also a possibility.
The main principle in devising the programmes has been to cater for the students’ needs as much as possible. Our standard programmes invariably include all the primary fundamental aspects of systematic learning of Russian, i.e. practical classes in Phonetics, Intonation, Vocabulary, Grammar (on all levels) as well as classes aimed at developing and improving the participants’ oral communication skills. Students are also offered various special courses covering a wide range of professional topics (the Russian Language, Russian Literature, Translation, Methods of Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language, etc) and special seminars focusing on general philological subjects (“Aspects of the Russian Verb”, “Verbal and Nominal Ways of Word-Formation in Russian”) and providing links to other humanitarian disciplines (culture, society, politics), such as, for instance, “History of Russian Art”, “Russian Music”, “Russian Folklore”, “History and Politics”.
On completion of the course, the participants will receive an official certificate from the Faculty of Philology, Moscow Lomonosov State University, indicating the type and length of the course attended.
