Participants greatly benefit from individual attention in our small classes and from interaction with host faculty who have extensive experience in second language acquisition. In addition to classroom learning, American Councils emphasizes language immersion outside of the academic program through: - volunteer opportunities at sites such as local public schools, charity organizations, and international NGOs; - cultural excursions, discussion groups, and other extracurricular activities; and - life with local host-families where participants become fully immersed in the language, culture, and cuisine of Russia. All participants earn undergraduate- or graduate-level academic credit through Bryn Mawr College. QUESTIONS?
