Description
Russian Through Art: For Intermediate to Advanced Students develops all four language skills while enhancing students’ cultural knowledge through exposure to Russian visual arts.
Each of the six thematically organised chapters is accompanied by online resources, available at https://ccle.ucla.edu/course/view/russnart. These supporting materials include online lectures, readings, audio and video clips and assignments of varying levels of difficulty, starting with description and narration tasks and progressing to discussion and debate.
