In order to profitably attend classes and pass the final examination,
students should already have a knowledge of the Russian language at the
B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (2001).
The final exam is aimed at evaluating various linguistic skills (including written/oral comprehension and written/oral expression), in harmony with the descriptors developed by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (2001).
It consists of a written test and an oral test. The written test is preparatory to the oral test.
For the written test, the extensive production of a text such as a letter or short composition will not be required, but exercises will have to be completed that include various types of morphosyntactic-lexical tests based on the programme of the morphosyntax lessons. There will be no multiple-choice tests. The written test will evaluate spelling and grammatical correctness, expressive propriety and the ability to understand Russian. The use of the Russian-Italian-Russian paper dictionary or the Russian monolingual dictionary will be permitted. The oral exam will consist of a part in Russian on the conversation topics covered during the Exercises and a part in Italian (or Russian, at the student's choice) on the morphosyntax lessons. All presentations of the morphosyntax lessons are available in the relative folder on the courses' ELearning platform. Each of the tests is considered passed if evaluated with a result equal to or higher than 18/30.
The aim of this course is to bring students who already possess intermediate morphosyntactic language skills in Russian to a level of competence comparable to B2 (Постпороговый Уровень - Vantage Level).
The course aims to increase knowledge and understanding of different
aspects of the Russian language, with particular focus on the lexicon and
the morphosynthax, further strengthening communicative skills.
• syntax of simple and complex sentences; in-depth analysis of specific
grammatical issues: time complements; pronouns (negative, indefinite);
verbs (gerunds, participles); verbal aspects; prefixation.
• vocabulary and cultural knowledge (страноведение, культурология).

The course will be delivered through lectures using Power-Point
presentations, which will then be uploaded to the course folder on the
ELearning platform.
It will be complemented by interactive language laboratories held by
linguistic experts, aimed at consolidating and expanding communication
skills in the four skills. The subject of the laboratory lessons are: reading,
writing and listening exercises; grammar exercises; expansion of the
lexicon; practice in oral production (dialogical and monological).
Attendance of laboratories is mandatory and is part of the overall course
commitment. Students will have to do some autonomous studying
through homework, which will be checked in class. During the language
laboratories, the sharing of acquired skills has the purpose of training for
mutual collaboration and comparison. There are tests to check the skills
acquired in itinere.
Students will also have access to a wide range of resources for deepening
and strengthening material learned in the self-access language laboratory.
The programme is divided into two modules.
Continuous attendance is strongly recommended. Non-attending students
should contact the course tutor at the beginning of the academic year in
order to agree a supplementary programme.
