The study of languages requires significant independent study both at school, as well as at home, which provides practice in self-motivation and responsibility. Learning a new language is based on acquiring new information and skills and building upon that. As studies advance, students must use deductive thinking skills and ferret out information using this new language. In doing so, students learn language applications. Expression in any language requires creativity.
Students have to combine learned skills with ingenuity.
Various methods are used in teaching foreign languages. Focal areas are reinforced by working in pairs and small groups, writing compositions, reading various texts and literature, listening and conversation. Grammar and structure are reinforced by using computers in addition to traditional teaching methods. C-Russian is also available provided enough students elect to take these courses.
