Students will:
1. be able to communicate orally and in writing at a basic level with a degree of accuracy and fluency.

3. have acquired knowledge and awareness of the general social and cultural background of the target language
4. be able to understand and interpret simple written texts at a basic level
5. be able to respond to simple written texts at a basic level
Overall, students will attain a level comparable to A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Teaching will be delivered online. Learners will be involved in a variety of synchronous activities, mostly interactive with maximum use of the target language, but with attention devoted also to explaining the fundamentals of the Russian language structures. These activities will be supported and amplified by asynchronous e-learning opportunities and self-directed exercises.
The unit is based on a coherent scheme of work developed by the unit coordinator, which will be made available on Blackboard.
