Russian as a foreign language for adults

Teaching Russian beyond language

Big Ben online courses are designed for adult learners to inevitably succeed in studying the language. Our supportive teachers will transform students' potential into a stable ability to communicate in Russian fluently and express themselves in all areas of life. Learning Russian with Big Ben is an exciting intellectual adventure!

Big Ben approach for Adult Students:

• We focus on establishing and improving students' all-round Russian by combining all language skills (writing, reading, speaking, listening) along with grammar and vocabulary study.
• Our courses will allow to dive into even more specific areas of the Russian language as well as make faster progress.
• We use communicative language teaching via various forms of interaction with students: interviews, role-plays, improvisations, debates, language games.
• The Russian language is introduced in its strong relation to the native Russian cultural highlights to keep students fully immersed.

Your Russian course can optionally contain business-specific language skills and functions:

• business-related topics «Work-life balance», «Product and service», «Sales», «Occupation», «Customers», «Business meetings», «Competitors», «Brands», «Going on a business trip», «Networking», «Dealing with conflicts and complaints», «Applying for a job», «Investments», «Setting up a new business»;
• preparation for TORFL international exam (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 Levels).
