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.

Due to the transition to online classes in response to COVID-19, the immersion components of the Workshop will not be offered in summer 2020. The description below reflects the regular, residential structure of the Workshop. We anticipate that the program will return to this structure in 2021.

 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!

Due to COVID-19, summer 2020 Workshop classes will not be residential. Classes will be offered online.

The description below reflects the regular structure of the Workshop, which we plan to return to in 2021.

 Workshop students live in Willkie Center in air-conditioned single rooms, sharing a lounge with other students studying the same language.

On-campus dining options in the summer are limited. Indiana University Meal plans are available, but the number of cafeterias and hours of operation are limited. Most Workshop students prefer pay-as-you-go dining.
