Developed in conjunction with the Russian Flagship Program at Indiana University, this intensive, immersive, comprehensive course is for students with emerging advanced proficiency in Russian who wish to develop professional speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Students in this course will deepen their familiarity with Russian culture by exploring authentic materials and media, participating in a variety of extracurricular Russian language activities, and interacting with the local Russian-speaking community.

Students who complete the course successfully will develop solid advanced skills and will reach a global proficiency of Advanced Low/Mid or higher. They will be able to understand materials from a range of registers and genres and to speak and write appropriately in a range of formal, informal, professional, and academic environments. 

Students who fulfill the course requirements will complete the equivalent of the 4^th-Year Flagship curriculum at Indiana University.

To maximize learning, Workshop students immerse themselves in Russian language and culture; living, working, and eating with fellow students and faculty on the Russian floor of the residence hall and by signing a language pledge to speak only Russian for the duration of the program.

You will be challenged, perhaps more than you anticipate, but those students who adhere to the pledge and maintain immersion make measurably more progress in Russian than students who do not.

Immerse yourself in Russian this summer and see just how much you can do!

This is a level 4 course. Prior experience is required, specifically

• Successful completion of 3rd-Year Russian at Indiana University within last 24 months, OR
• Successful completion of placement exam (administered after admission but before payment of fees).

Housing in Willkie Center is included in your Workshop fee. You will stay in an air-conditioned single room, sharing a lounge with other students of your language.

Summer dining options are limited. We recommend that you cook in the Willkie Hall kitchen or eat in local eateries.
