Conducted entirely in Russian, the course is designed to help students to achieve proficiency in business communication skills in Russian. The advanced study of Russian grammar will be supplemented with reading and discussion of various commercial Russian texts and supported by exercises in technical and business Russian.

Students will read, discuss, and do exercises on texts which will include all aspects of business -- from reading a newspaper article and writing a business letter in Russian to participating in contract negotiations and working with shipping and delivery forms. One of the main goals of the course will be building the technical and commercial Russian vocabulary.
