Description
This module aims to develop a range of language skills primarily for the purposes of conducting research: to support master's dissertation work, for PhD research and for use in other contexts where intermediate reading skills, along with a range of further language skills, are required. The students will gain fluency in reading research and media materials, as well as communication skills of speaking, writing and understanding Russian in a working environment. The module develops reading skills for research to an intermediate level, in particular in relation to the students' specific disciplinary/research topic interests; at the same time the course acquaints the students with a range of discourses and materials in order to develop a broader base for the comprehension of written texts. The module also consolidates command of the grammar of the language and develops productive skills of speaking and writing, in particular in relation to the students' specific disciplinary/research interests, but also with a view to developing communication skills for use in practical situations. By the end of the module students will be well equipped to read and summarise written materials at intermediate level. They will also develop more general competence across a range of productive and receptive skills. Students will improve their intercultural understanding and communication skills, independent study skills, analytical, writing and summary skills.
