A variety of activities, including role-play and educational games, will be employed to develop students’ listening and speaking skills. The students will also learn the Russian alphabet and will learn how to decode written forms of the basic Russian words. They will participate in group reading and writing and become acquainted with some cultural features.

This course supports and is aligned to the success orientations, competencies, and knowledge noted in the QSI Program Outcomes.

Russian Introductory I consists of ten essential units. This course is divided into Essential Outcomes and Introduced/Practiced Outcomes. The Essential Outcomes must be assessed for mastery. The Introduced/ Practiced Outcomes are intended to expose the student to skills that will be mastered in a future essential unit, engage the student in ongoing and necessary skills, and to practice the outcomes previously taught. The student should be engaged in Essential Unit ten throughout the course of the school year. This unit should be entered in the PBE program as one period a week.

This course supports and is aligned to the success orientations, competencies, and knowledge noted in the QSI Program Outcomes.
