Essential Capabilities:
Intercultural Literacy
Students' reading and grammar drills are based on texts whose content concerns contemporary Russian life and its cultural specificity. In grammar, Russia's verbal aspect system overlaps, but often does not equate, with English tenses or English conceptions of action. Verbs of motion in Russian boggle the minds of English speakers. Experience of time and space in Russian depend upon spatial concepts intrinsic to the Russian case system. In semantics, there are relatively few cognates with English. Russian history is reflected in Russian etymology (Church Slavic vs. Russian roots; French influences appear in the 19th century, and English influences in the late 20th century).
