RUSS_V: Russian

All RUSS_V coded courses are conducted in Russian-plus (i.e., Russian, plus any additional multilingual experiences students bring to the course). By “plus”, we mean that no classroom is ever monolingual; students bring all of their languages to class with them and use those languages implicitly to help improve their Russian knowledge.

For Slavic and Eastern European Studies courses conducted in English-plus, including Russophone and Russian literature and culture courses, please see SLAV_V coded courses.
