Description This module is aimed at learners of Russian language who are working towards the post-beginners level. Students will learn the language in both spoken and written forms, further developing and consolidating their linguistic skills and cultural awareness in relation to familiar subjects of personal relevance. During this module students can continue to identify relevant topics in terms of social and cultural similarities and differences between Ireland and Russian-speaking countries. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Extract information from a variety of basic authentic texts in areas of most immediate priority (e.g very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography employment) in both reading and orally, provided that the speech is clearly and slowly articulated. 2. Demonstrate effective oral skills in a range of social situations such as talking about your daily life, skills and past experiences. 3. Produce short texts on matters of personal relevance e.g. write short basic descriptions of events, activities and personal experiences using present and past simple. Also, engage in basic social communication online (Sharing news and making/confirming arrangements to meet). 4. Demonstrate control of basic structures of the language as well as increasingly complex grammatical structures (e.g word order in main and subordinate clauses, the use of genders and cases, adjectival endings, verb tenses). 5. Continue identifying economic, social and cultural similarities and differences between Ireland and Russian-speaking countries. 6. Use IT skills to access language specific-resources (life-long learning) to be able to reflect on your own learning path in your future progression in the language. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
