Russian is an East Slavic language and is spoken in regional dialects. The modern dialect of Moscow is used in the Washington Academy of Languages' instructional programs. Because Russian has a different alphabet, it takes more time to master than does, for example, a Romance language.

At Washington Academy of Languages, each class is divided into a communicative and an explanatory module. During the communicative modules, the focus is on active use of the language. Russian is the medium of instruction so that participants become used to hearing the language spoken at natural speeds and continually work on developing fluency. Exchanges center on useful topics and problem-solving activities. Explanations consist of instruction in grammar and pronunciation practice; this module is incorporated into the program when necessary. These modules are kept distinct because of our commitment to use of the language in the classroom.

As a component to the language instruction, aspects of the culture are continually integrated into the program. Role playing, dialogues, etiquette and information are discussed and practiced, as appropriate.

    Review of WAL, November 21, 2008

    I took a Spanish class with WAL and loved my instructor! The class was taught primarily in Spanish even though it was an introductory-level course. This was fantastic for providing the opportunity to learn the language by UNDERSTANDING the language. When the instructor would speak to the class in Spanish, we were forced not to just listen but to understand. When we practiced speaking, we were not just reciting lines from a textbook but rather communicating what we wanted to say using what we learned in class.

    The class format worked well for me, too. Evening classes are great for me as I work during the day, but they offer morning classes as well for those who have the time.

    Finally, I think it's great that they offer university credit for their language classes. I didn't need it, but it's a good idea for those who want to receive a transcript of their courses for their career or studies.
