Methodology.

When you have a reason for communicating you also have motivation to do it.

At BKC we have a communicative approach to Russian language learning. The Russian lessons are conducted in Russian only. Different skills are concentrated on (speaking, reading, writing and listening) and students are involved in carrying out certain tasks which require them to use Russian in a real and relevant way. Even when the emphasis is on grammar, pronunciation or vocabulary students are helped to communicate with each other in Russian to complete the task.

This methodology has been perfected over the years and BKC Russian teachers are free to practice it in a way that suits both their own style and the needs and interests of their Russian students.

From the beginning, in the classroom, you are taught to consider the Russian language as a means of cultural information exchange and real communication. When leaving the classroom you will have the skills to express yourself in Russian in a natural, meaningful way. It will also help you to make your trip to Russia richer with experience and opportunities.
