Why Study Russian
If you want to understand and be part of vibrant and diverse culture, learn Russian. More than 260 million people around the world speak it, and it is the official language of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.
It is also the official language of the European Council, The United Nations, UNESCO, and the World Trade Organization. For work in tourism, diplomacy, and science, it is increasingly important. And don’t forget the wonderful literature.
Lifelong Learning Courses
Courses within this program may not be taken as part of your degree. They are available to those wishing to learn a language at a more relaxed pace.
We offer a wide range of language courses that can take you from beginner through to advanced level, with the majority of the classes timetabled in the evenings. Upon completion of the course, you may be eligible for a certificate awarded by the Language Centre
The Language Centre has been part of the University of Warwick's central academic services since its establishment in 1964. The Language Laboratory was first set up in 1964 on the East Site (Gibbet Hill Site), by the Senior Technician Laurie Evans.
It moved to new premises in 1966 in a new building which is now solely the Library, but the building then housed the Arts Faculty, Library, Book-bindery and Photography departments. When the Arts faculty (Humanities) building was constructed in 1970, we occupied a few rooms within our current location.
We have taken over a few adjacent rooms over the years to reach our current capacity. We managed at last in 1995 to equip all four of our language laboratories with the same machines, standardizing with the Tandberg IS10 model. This has made the life of our tutors easier by not having to become familiar with different operating controls.
Laurie Evans became Superintendant, but later was re-designated Director until his death in 1985. Afterward, the post of Director was taken by Noemi Messora (appointed 50%) and when she left Warwick to return to Italy, Bob Powell was appointed to a full-time post as Director in 1993.
It can be seen from the archive photographs that Language Laboratory technology has moved on, from valve open-reel tape recorders to transistor solid-state open-reel, cassette tape recorders. Having recently installed a fully digitalized satellite system, we are now progressing to totally computerized digital sound recording.
We have always maintained pace with technology to enable our tutors to utilise the most modern teaching methods - sometimes at the cutting edge of innovation. The Centre's activities continue to expand as part of the University's long-term commitment to the increased provision of foreign language tuition across the Faculties.
In lingual courses you will develop your Russian language four skills of learning (speaking, reading, listening, and writing) and also cross-cultural communication skills, being able to effectively interact with native speakers in real-world situations.
We offer courses in eleven different languages at a range of levels from complete beginner (Level 1) through to Advanced Conversation.
Russian Language is offered by Manchester Tutors. We are able to provide private tutors for every academic subject, and a large selection of languages.
Russian is the fifth most widely spoken language in the world. It’s a beautiful and rich language. Russian literature includes a huge number of great works – Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Turgenev and so on.
We care about your progress. Where other courses might leave you in pairs to practice with someone at the same level as you, our trainer pays attention to each individual student and is always on hand to correct errors along the way.
