RUS 389-01 - Advanced Russian Seminar

4 credits (Spring)

This course will focus on an in-depth study of Russian in the context of translation. In the first part of the course, students will work on a series of common texts drawn from Russian culture, with the goal of creating collaborative translations. In the second part of the course, students will choose texts relevant to their own interests, and create an individual, annotated translation. Of particular interest will be creative works or primary sources that students can use to support or further their research in other courses. Theoretical approaches to translation will form an important aspect of the seminar, as will the study of advanced syntax and grammar. Throughout the course, students will work to develop their skills in speaking, reading, writing, and aural comprehension. Conducted in Russian.

Prerequisite: RUS 313.
