4-Week Intensive Summer Russian in Kazan
CLI's 4-week summer program in Kazan helps students extend and solidify the language and culture skills they develop during intensive Russian classes on the ASU campus.
The 4-week Kazan program offers Elementary and Intermediate instruction.
Students in both levels share a common set of activities and excursions.
Students receive 3 ASU credits at the 400 level (SLC 494) for successfully completing the program.
This program is open only to students who complete one of the 7-week courses below.
Classes meet 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. Cultural activities, including excursions, visits to museums, concerts, films, etc. take place 3 days a week, with longer outings on the weekends.
Books and materials are the same as those for the Intensive Elementary Russian and Intensive Intermediate Russian.
Students stay with a Russian family or stay in an apartment with at least one Russian-speaking roommate. CLI attempts to honor student housing preferences, but depending upon the available housing may not always be able to guarantee that every student will receive his or her first housing choice.
NOTE: Construction and preparations for the 2013 Universiade in Kazan are disrupting traffic and public transport. As a result, CLI cannot guarantee that all student housing will be within 30 minutes of the CLI site in 2012 and 2013. CLI will make every effort to place students within a 30-minute commuting distance, but students should be aware that traffic patterns may change and that some students may find themselves with longer commutes, at least for some part of the CLI program.
With a population of more than 1.1 million, Kazan is a major center of science and culture. The city, sometimes known as the "Third Capital" of Russian (after Moscow and St. Petersburg) is best known these days as a model of interethnic and interconfessional tolerance. With a population split between Orthodox Christian Russians and Sunni Muslim Tatars. Home to Kazan State University (now part of Kazan Federal University) and several other institutes of higher education clustered around the central pedestrian zone, Kazan is a vibrant, youthful city.
