Since its establishment in 1991 the Language Centre has grown steadily and developed to become what it is today: a dynamic teaching unit offering high quality language learning to more than 1200 students from all departments across the University.
A small proportion of students follow a degree course with a compulsory language element. The majority, however, choose a language as an optional module and can either begin a new language or improve existing language skills.
Our Teaching Philosophy
All teachers bring their own personal expertise and personality into the classroom. This richness and variety is something which all learners appreciate. We are fortunate in the Language Centre that we draw staff from many countries and different professional backgrounds - a factor which enhances greatly the opportunities for learners.
These skills and professional convictions lend energy to discussions among staff members about teaching methods. The Language Centre seeks to be a place where ideas are exchanged and where teaching programmes and materials are drawn from the strengths of individual staff members, supported by technology and a dedicated and imaginative technical team.
It is fair to say that there is general consensus amongst staff on a basic teaching philosophy. This can be briefly summarized under the following points:
We organise small group courses in our offices in Holborn in the evenings.
Russian is one of the most commonly spoken languages in the world, with more than 150 million native speakers and another 110 million or so who speak it as a secondary language, mostly in former Soviet Union republics such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Ukraine, and Georgia.
Russian language class is offered by Newcastle International School NIS.Our courses are from beginner to advanced level. We recognise each student has individual language learning goals.
We offer courses in eleven different languages at a range of levels from complete beginner (Level 1) through to Advanced Conversation.
The territory of Russia is not simply big, it is gargantuan. It is 1.8 times the size of the United States and an impressive 70 times the size of Great Britain. Russia’s climate, landscape, flora and fauna variety is unprecedented.
