How you'll be assessed

Four skill areas are tested: reading, listening, writing and speaking. Students learn the useful skill of translating in and out of their own language. They complete research on an aspect of a Russian-speaking country and present this as part of their orally assessed “Independent Research Project.” They learn to read a play in the target language and to analyse a film, and are able to write about these works in Russian.
