2. PREPARED BY: MykolaPolyuha 1. DATE PREPARED: October 2012 4. COURSE NUMBER: RUSSIAN 204 3. DEPARTMENT: Languages and Cultures 6. CREDIT HOURS: 3 Goal 4. Cultures and Diversity: 1 5. COURSE TITLE: Intermediate Russian GEP Goal 1. Communication: 1 GEP II Goal 7. Arts and Humanities: 1 GEP
7. PREREQUISITES: RUSSIAN 203 or equivalent, or permission of the Department.
8. CATALOG DESCRIPTION:· Reinforces and expand the material covered in Russian 203 (Intennediate Russian I) by utilizing a multi-skill approach: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. A key objective in this course is to encourage students to speak as much Russian in the classroom as possible. Russian language is taught in its cultural contexts, including history, diversity, literature, visual arts and comparison with students' native communication strategies and literary and artistic traditions. The course is designed for students seeking General Education Points in Cultures and Diversity, Communication, and Arts and Humanities, and is conducted in combination oflecture and discussion, and formal and informal oral and written assignments. Applicable toward a minor or a major in Languages and Cultures: Russian and East European Studies Track. Prerequisites: RUSSIAN 203 or equivalent, or permission of the Department. Normally offered once a year.
9. CONTENT OUTLINE: Individual faculty will use different approaches but will give considerable time to developing four language skills (reading, wi:iting, listening, and speaking). As part of each group or individual assignment, faculty will introduce relevant morphological, grammatical, stylistic, geographical, historical, literary, and artistic terms and concepts helpful in comprehending the structure and cultural context of each topic. The following outline represents a course plan for RUSSIAN 204:
Tooic Skills Readin!!sNisual Arts Books, Authors, Gemes Talking about books, authors, genres Mikhail Zoshchenko's Borrowing books short stories Getting a library card Poems as Russians read them Leisure Time Invitations to places and events Illya Hf's and Evgeniy Describing how people spend free time: Petrov's short prose hobbies, sports, music Announcement for a sports club Obtaining information about concerts Post Office and Internet Using the post office Anton Chekhov's short Services Using the Internet and Internet cafes in stories Russia Reading and responding to personal ads Health and Health Care Naming parts of the body Anna Akhmatova's and Indicating basic symptoms of illness Anna Tsvetaeva's poetry Reading announcements for medical services Film "Heart of a Dog" Giving health advice Holidays and Guest Etiquette Talking about holidays Films: "Peculiarities of Meeting and greeting hosts and guests National Fishing"; Making toasts "Peculiarities of Writing holiday greetings National Hunting"
10. METHODS: Most classes will include a combination oflecture and group work. Since second language teaching often requires immediate feedback and monitored interaction among students, this course should be capped at 25 to facilitate in-depth discussion and adequate attention to writing instruction and evaluation. A class size exceeding 25 diminishes the effectiveness of communicative methodologies in language class.
11. STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
·
* A Personal Communication Skills Rubric aiming at developing skills in one-to-one and group interactions was created by the Department of Communication Studies in January 20 l 2 and approved the University Provost in May 2012.
RUSSIAN 204 will lead students to recognize new perspectives about their own cultural values and biases and to demonstrate understanding of the complexity of elements important to members of another culture in relation to its beliefs and practices (lntercultural Knowledge and Competence: Knowledge). Students will demonstrate an ability to identify their own cultural patterns, compare and contrast them with others, and adapt emphatically and flexibly to unfamiliar circumstances. They will be able to initiate and develop interactions with culturally different others (Element: Attitudes), to recognize intellectual and emotional dimensions of more than one worldview (Element: Skills), and to ask deeper questions about other cultures and seek out answers to these questions (Elements: Attitudes). These competencies warrant the awarding of I GEP toward the General Education Goal 4, Cultures and Diversity. Because the course has also been designed with student learning objectives related to students' abilities to I) produce "presentations of sufficient length such that a central message is conveyed, supported by one or more forms of supporting materials and includes a purposeful organization" (Oral Communication); 2) relate "ideas, text structure, or other textual features in order to build knowledge within and across texts and disciplines" (Reading: Analysis); 3) identify cultural differences in communication; and 4) demonstrate potential competence in intercultural communication interactions, the course contributes I GEP to General Education Goal I: Communication. In addition, the reading assignments, use of strategic approaches, applications of texts to social concerns, and written assignments associated with the texts that form the content of Intermediate Russian II are aimed at acquiring and applying "knowledge from the arts and humanities to analyze [and] evaluate ... the artistic and literary traditions of our diverse world," justifying I GE point for General Education Goal 7, Arts and Humanities
12. STUDENT ASSESSMENT (may vary in practice from instructor to instructor): For student learning objectives I, 2, 3, 6, and 7 assessment is both formative and summative, and may include contributions to discussion, in-class writing, homework, informal responses to reading, quizzes, examinations, and formal essay assignments. For student learning objectives 4 and 5, assessment is both formative (e.g., preparing outlines and drafts) and summative (final polished presentation or enacting a situation).
13. EVALUATION OF INDIVIDUAL STUDENT PERFORMANCE (may vary in practice from instructor to instructor): Student learning objectives I, 2, 3, 6, and 7 are assessed by specific questions in the quizzes and final examination. Objectives 4 and 5 are assessed by formal oral presentations or situational enactment.
14. COURSE ASSESSMENT: To assess student learning objectives I through 5, this course will use two types of instruments: I) test blueprinting for quizzes and objective examinations which link test items to the student learning objectives and the cognitive demand; and 2) rubrics for essay, papers, and presentations. As requested by the General Education Council, data will be reported to the Office of Planning and Assessment using the Rubric elements listed in section 11 of this syllabus and will be used to periodically evaluate the course to ensure that it continues to meet General Education Student Learning Objective and curricular goals.
