As a part of my work at the university, I develop and teach courses for short-term programs and Summer Schools for international instructors of Russian. The course “Russian Language Today: Films, Music, and Literature” proved to be beneficial for German teachers of Russian enrolled in our Summer School since it helped them understand the modern Russian culture and acquire new vocabulary. This course also encouraged my students to develop their own courses based on the approach I introduced. The other course, which I`m proud of, was “Introduction to Journalism” which helped students get acquainted with Russian mass media. Students claimed this course to be one of their favorite since they had to read and discuss articles on various social and cultural issues.
