Level 4 Advanced is for those already with a command of the language, who wish to supplement and hone their skills to the highest level. Opportunities will be provided for learning and developing translation and interpretation skills. The course is taught using all the University of Essex facilities, including classrooms, language laboratories, computer rooms, and the library, one of the most extensive in the UK for Russian literature, magazines and newspapers. Also we have satellite access to Russian television channels and an excellent collection of Russia films on video, both with and without subtitles. Traditionally teachers are invited from Moscow, St Petersburg and Yaroslavl, bringing with them the varied cultural backgrounds which give this course its unique flavour.
Class sizes are small usually between four and ten people.
The tuition starts from 10 am and ends 2.50 pm, with lunch between 12.50 pm and 2 pm. Each session lasts 50 minutes. All teaching materials and textbooks will be available at the start of the course. You can borrow videos from our lending library, or watch Russian TV at your leisure. One Executive double room is also available at the cost of 32.20 per night.
