StarTalk Russian Language & Culture Immersion Program

The College of Humanities at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), seeks funding to support a six-week, residential STARTALK Russian Language & Culture Immersion Program for 20 students in summer 2013. We recruit highly motivated undergraduate and high school students, especially those whose planned academic or career fields would be complemented by Russian language proficiency. Major Goals of the program are (1) to significantly improve participants' Russian language proficiency, (2) to promote an understanding of Russian culture, and (3) to help students connect their language and culture learning with their academic and career goals.
