Program description (courtesy of SRAS):
An intensive and supportive environment for Russian language study is paired with homestays to provide you with an immersive language and cultural experience in the thrilling and beautiful city of Tbilisi, Georgia.
Small, intensive Russian language classes aim to immerse you in the language for significant gains in your fluency, comprehension, and cultural knowledge, using a combination of classroom hours, peer tutoring (conversation partners), and other out-of-classroom experiences. Classes (run by Novamova, a highly respected modern language school) meet for 20 hours per week and focus on reading, writing, grammar, speaking, comprehension, and phonetics.
Out-of-classroom experiences, special lectures, and workshops will give you a chance to use the Russian language you are studying while introducing you to local Georgian identity, history, and current issues in contemporary Georgia.
The 8 week program is equivalent to 8 credits (up to two semesters) of language study at Rutgers. All credits count toward the Russian major and Russian Language or Language & Literature minor tracks. A placement test, administered at Rutgers, will determine your level of study after your return.
