CULP: Russian Through Film, History and Culture Prerequisites£
Russian through Film is a content-based language course for students who already have a good command of the Russian Language (at least B1 and preferably B2, for information about these levels please see the CULP enrolment 'Russian levels and assessment' page). The course is based around classic Soviet and Russian films that are readily available from the John Trim Centre for Independent Learning at the Language Centre. Russian through Film will begin with a general introduction to the Russian language with special reference to film-related terminology. Every film will be introduced by a session (2 lessons) devoted to its linguistic features and a range of relevant listening, reading and subsequently communicative exercises. After the viewing of the film (students will do this in their own time - either at the John Trim Independent Learning Centre here at the LC, or watch on-line) there will be a session devoted to the artistic (director, actors, style of expression etc.) context followed by a further discussion about the film's aesthetic, wider cultural, historical and political implications. All teaching and discussions will be in the Russian language and students will be expected to actively participate and contribute. This course features no assessment component upon completion.
