Teaching method
All courses are based on communicative approaches and combine learning common expressions used in everyday situations with a thorough and systematic grammatical approach.
This is of vital importance for learning a language like Russian, which has an inflectional system and a non-fixed word order – a language in which word endings or word's place create the meaning.
Conversational topics are given with appropriate grammar structures, while the grammar part of the course proceeds gradually from simple "basic concepts" to more complex issues in a psychologically proven order (e.g. naming objects - describing locations - actions with objects - moving to and from, etc.).
One of the most important principles consists in giving the students the linguistic means to express themselves in everyday situations by constant training of communicative skills and models, which allows learners to reach their own communicative objectives.
All teachers are native speakers and hold a university degree in Linguistics with specialization in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (RKI). Teachers are also encouraged to learn new languages because we believe that having this experience as students is a valuable source for further improvement of their professional skills.
