The aim of the subject is to familiarize students with the principles and unwritten rules of everyday spoken communication in Russia. Attention will be paid to both professional and colloquial expressions. The purpose of the discipline is to teach students to respond spontaneously in Russian to various stimuli that they may later encounter in Russia (during a possible internship), or in a school or corporate environment. During the lesson, students are involved in dialogues and polylogues on a predetermined topic, so they converse not only with the teacher, but also with each other, which is very beneficial. They learn to express their opinions and become familiar with a whole range of established phrases that enable reliable and comfortable communication in Russian, as well as certain retardation techniques, and allow them to avoid misunderstandings or other pitfalls of the language being studied. At the same time, they also acquire cultural competence.
