Course description Today is your first of learning how to speak a language that 280 million other people in Russia, in former Soviet Republics and in other countries around the world use for daily communication. As you learn Russian, you will discover new perspectives on these fascinating and culturally rich communities. From your first word of Russian to the time when you become a fluent speaker of the language, you will constantly be engaging in "5 C's" of language learning -- Communication, Cultures, Comparisons, Communities, and Connections. You will hear Russian spoken at a normal speed, extract information from simple authentic Russian texts, speak and write about yourself, your background, and studies. You will also learn to cope with many situations encountered when traveling to Russia or dealing with Russian speakers in this country (e.g., passing through customs, making a purchase, ordering a meal, inviting a friend to go to the movies). You will also gain knowledge about Russian culture through the language. You should take advantage of as many language-learning strategies as you find helpful. Please see your instructor if you need help finding access to Russian films, music, or other types of language input. Learning objectives By the completion of this course, all participants are expected to acquire an ACTFL proficiency level of “Novice High” in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Half or more of participants may achieve “Intermediate Low” or better in one or more area. See https//www.actfl.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/public/ACTFLProficiencyGuidelines2012_FINAL.pdf for details on the ACTFL proficiency rating system.

• You will be able to interact with Russian speakers on topics of every-day life (e.g., your interests, habits, preferences, career plans, and academic work) telling about yourself and asking questions of your conversation partner(s). • You will be able to conduct many transactions (e.g., setting up a meeting, issuing an invitation, getting directions, getting advice, ordering food) with Russian speakers finding out all the information that you need. • You will be able to show proper levels of politeness in your interactions with Russian speakers, choosing formal and familial forms of address, the appropriate form of a Russian speaker’s name(s). 2

• You will recognize important products, practices, and perspectives in Russian culture relating to geography, landmarks, holidays, housing traditions, regional differences, etc. • You will be able to discuss your health, opinions and feelings, as well as ask for and give advice and directions.

Program Structure

This course is divided into two sessions. The first session covers the material normally included in the fall semester. The second covers the material normally included in the spring semester.

You will receive two grades; one for each session. Session A May 29 —June 29 (final exams on June 29) Session B July 2—July 27 (final exams on July 26; July 27th will be a half day)

Grading system (per session)

Students receive two grades, one for SLAV-N111/SLAV-N511 and one for SLAV-N112/SLAV-N512.

Class participation 10% Homework 10% Weekly assignments, tests, quizzes, presentations, phonetics, tutoring & culture 50% Final examination 30%

Auditing and Incompletes Workshop classes cannot be taken for audit. There is no not-for-credit option. All participants will receive a grade for their class. The Workshop does not issue grades of Incomplete. Participants who do not complete coursework by the end of the Workshop will be graded normally, with a grade of zero for any assignment not completed.

Time in Class versus Homework Time

This intensive course relies heavily on work performed outside the class.

Class time concentrates on activities that you cannot perform effectively without the immediate feedback of an instructor, for example conversation, structured oral drills, active listening comprehension, etc.

Activities for which no instructor is necessary will typically be performed as homework, for example reading, writing, and composition; grammar, etc.

In particular, participants are expected to read ahead and to work with material that has not yet been covered in class. It is the participant’s responsibility to learn assigned material before class, then come to class prepared to apply what they have learned. Instructors will not necessarily go over every homework topic in class. Instead, they will concentrate on topics that are particularly difficult or particularly important. Nonetheless, each participant is responsible for mastering every topic assigned, including topics not emphasized in class.

Since this course moves at 5 times the usual speed, preparation is critical. Participants who come to class unprepared will find it difficult to succeed.

Participation Since the course relies so heavily on listening and speaking practice, attendance and participation are mandatory and count toward the course grades.

Class participation will reflect participants’ daily preparation and active participation in class discussions. A participant who is chronically late to class, leaves early, or is not prepared to participate will not receive full attendance and participation credit.

Students are expected to attend at least one of the two Russian Tables per . This will count toward the participation grade.

Attendance

Participants who miss more than two classes (8 hours) over the course of the Workshop without prior consent of the instructor or Workshop administration will receive a zero for class participation and may be asked to withdraw from the course.

Holidays 4

The Workshop will not hold class on Wednesday, July 4. Regular classes will be held on July 3 and 5.

Participants may request to be excused for religious reasons on June 15 (Eid al-Fitr), June 21 (summer solstice), and July 9 (Martyrdom of the Bab), but must notify their instructors in advance and must make up class hours missed on these days. These days will not count against the 8-hour maximum for hours of class missed.

These are the only religious holidays recognized by Indiana University during the Workshop. Participants who miss class for other religious holidays must count the missed time toward the 2 days a participant is permitted to miss over the course of the summer.

Homework Grading

Homework is your opportunity to practice new structures. It is expected that you will make mistakes; you will not be marked down for doing so. As long as you complete your homework and turn it in on time, you will receive full credit.

Academic Misconduct

Indiana University expects participants to uphold and maintain academic and personal honor and integrity. Workshop instructors and staff are obligated to report violations of the code or instances of academic dishonesty and misconduct. You can find the definitions of and penalties for academic misconduct at http//participantcode.iu.edu/responsibilities/academic-misconduct.html, and the IU Code of Participant Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct at http//participantcode.iu.edu/. Sanctions for academic misconduct include, but are not limited to, a grade of F* (failure due to misconduct), deregistration, and from the Workshop.

CAS offers counseling services in English, Mandarin, and Spanish. Contact them at http//healthcenter.indiana.edu/counseling or 812 855 8711.

Disabilities Services for Participants (DSS)

Adaptive Technology Center (ATC)

The ATC makes hardware or software designed to provide improved information access for individuals with special requirements. It specializes in assistive technologies that help with reading, writing, studying, and information access. For example, ATC provides services for participants, faculty, and staff with the following disabilities vision (blindness and low vision), mobility impairment (limited wrist/arm movement), etc. and hearing loss.

Sexual Misconduct

IU does not tolerate acts of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment and all forms of sexual violence. If you have experienced sexual misconduct, or know someone who has, the University can help. It is important to know that federal regulations and University policy require faculty to promptly report complaints of potential sexual misconduct known to them to their campus Deputy Title IX Coordinator(s) to ensure that appropriate measures are taken and resources are made available. The University will work with you to protect your privacy by sharing information with only those that need to know to ensure the University can respond and assist. If you are seeking help and would like to speak to someone confidentially, you can make an appointment with a Mental Health Counselor on campus. Find more information about sexual violence, including campus and community resources at http//stopsexualviolence.iu.edu.

Classroom Conduct

To create an effective learning environment for all participants, Workshop participants are expected to treat each other and their instructors with respect, pay attention and remain engaged, and to avoid engaging in distracting or disruptive activities, including newspaper reading, engaging in conversation unrelated to class, eating, texting and instant messaging, etc. Electronic devices should be silence and stowed away during class, except when they are actively being used for instructional purposes.

Participants should come to class prepared, should participate actively in classroom activities, and should not hinder other participants from doing the same.

Consistently disruptive participants, including unprepared participants, may be subject to disciplinary action by the University.

Class Participation (10%)

Because the focus of class meetings is on group work and discussion, attendance and participation are required and will form part of the final grade. Tardiness is not acceptable. A student who is chronically late to class, leaves early, or is not prepared to participate, will not receive attendance and participation credit.

Students will need to discuss with the instructor their ability to continue in the course after more than three unexcused absences. Students must inform the instructor of any absences in advance by email, including for religious observances or they will not receive points for that class meeting. Students will also not receive points if do not prepare and participate. More than one consecutive absence caused by illness or other medical necessity will only be excused if the instructor receives a note signed by an MD or RN.

Students are expected to participate at least in one Russian table per week. Russian Tables meets Tuesday and Thursday 12:30-14:00 in Wright.

Homework Assignments (10%)

We will spend about a week on each Урок, completing уроки 1-9 in detail. A schedule of homework assignments for each chapter will be posted on the course site. For full credit, homework assignments must be turned in at the beginning of the class on the day for which they were assigned. It is imperative to complete homework the day that it is assigned. If homework is submitted more than three days late, no credit will be given for it.

Your homework will be graded based on the following scale: Rating Characteristics of work 5 On-time, thoughtfully completed work, shows control over material, self-correction catches all major errors 4 On-time, all exercises are completed, shows some control over material, self-correction catches some errors 3 On-time, all exercises are attempted, shows partial control over material, self-correction catches some errors 2 Late OR only partially completed work 1 Late AND partially completed work

Even if it is late, it is always in your best interest to complete the assignment and show it to your instructor so that [s/he] may note if there are any serious problems in it and help you fix those before they affect your overall understanding of the material.

Weekly Assignments (Tests, Quizzes, Recordings, Phonetics, Tutoring & Cultural Activities etc.) (50%)

Weekly Tests (15%)

8

You will take seven tests throughout the semester. These tests will be taken in class on Fridays. These tests will cover the following: 1) vocabulary, 2) grammar, 3) reading, 4) writing, 5) listening, and 6) culture. The tests will include both written and oral components.

Quizzes (10%)

Expect to have at least one quiz a day. Quizzes will be announced or unannounced and will cover the vocabulary and grammar that you were to have studied for that class period. They will be short 10-minute quizzes, usually at the very beginning of class. Occasional short five-minute “pop quizzes” may be given without warning. These quizzes will cover the vocab or grammar you were assigned to have prepared for homework. No make-up quizzes will be given.

Recordings (10%)

You will also be expected to prepare audio-recordings on topics related to the covered material. The instructor will provide additional guidance. There will be 7 recordings over the course of the summer (see the schedule).

Phonetics (5%)

Every week, you will work on Russian phonetics. There are many features you need to acquire in order to sound ‘natural’ – e.g., vowel reduction, final consonant devoicing, consonant assimilation, and intonation. During oral examinations you will be evaluated on your ability to produce Russian sounds and intonation patterns (e.g., statements, questions with question words, questions without question words, exclamations).

Tutoring & Cultural Activities (10%)

In addition to the above requirements, every student will be assigned tutors and you are required to attend three tutoring sessions and one cultural activity every week, as follows:

• 3 hours per week: small group tutoring (In each session you will practice a set of communication skills, e.g. introducing yourself or providing a description of someone. At the end of the session you will be asked to make a video demonstrating your mastery of one of the skills you have practiced. You will not necessarily know in advance which skill, and different students may be asked to demonstrate different skills.

9

• 1 Cultural Activity per week: in groups and/or one-on-one with a tutor (Several cultural activities will be offered throughout the week, such as clubs, Russian tables, movies, etc. You will choose at least one activity to attend per week. You can bring a tutor to these activities to facilitate communication. You may also engage in a different cultural activity offered by your tutor.)

You will receive full credit for attendance at your weekly tutoring and cultural activities. Failure to attend will result in a loss of points for the week.

Final Exams (30%)

There will be two final exams – one for Session A (June 29) and one for Session B (July 26).

Each final exam will have a written portion (20%) and a one-on-one oral exam (10%).

The final written exam will be comprehensive and will cover the following: 1) vocabulary, 2) grammar, 3) reading, 4) writing, 5) listening, and 6) culture.

Students are responsible for the academic integrity of their work! We will encourage you to use online dictionaries to check the English meanings of unknown Russian words, and to use other online resources to learn vocabulary and grammar. There are LIMITS. 1. We do NOT encourage you to use online dictionaries for going from English to Russian. Use and recycle words and phrases that you meet in Mezhdu nami. 2. At no time should you use an online translation program to help you translate whole sentences or compositions from English to Russian. When you turn in Google’s translation as your own work, then you are committing academic misconduct. If I catch you using Google translate, you will receive 0 for your homework and a warning. If you use it again, I will have to report it as academic misconduct. Staying in Touch

10

If you find that you are having difficulties with the class, please come to see your instructor in office hours or by appointment. Instructors are available to work with you out of class so that you can be successful in the course. You should feel free to visit with your instructors to work on course material. We can be much more helpful in dealing with emergencies and special circumstances if you contact us as soon as a situation arises.
