3. Enrolment Procedure for new Non-Beginners

• 3.1. Assessments

  Unless you are a complete beginner enrolling for the first part of Beginners Language Course, we will need to assess you prior to enrolment.

  Assessment is a quick and informal process, that we aim to make easy for everyone.

  During the assessment process, you will also have an opportunity to speak with your prospective teacher, and put to them any particular questions you may have about the course.

  The first thing we ask you to do is complete a very simple assessment form in which we ask you to tell us (in English) about your language studies to date, and to write a brief paragraph in the language you are applying to study.

  This form is submitted to your prospective teacher, who will then telephone you towards the end of the enrolment period to ask you to tell him/her a bit more about yourself and your language studies. After they have spoken to you, you will be contacted by the Evening Courses Office with details of the class the teacher has advised you to join.

• 3.2. Assessments for Intermediate and Advanced Russian Students

  Please note that students applying for places on Lower Intermediate, Upper Intermediate, and Advanced Russian courses also need to complete a brief multiple choice placement test. The tests are self-scored (i.e. The answers are at the end.)

  Students who are trying to decide between applying for Lower and Upper Intermediate Russian courses should take the Intermediate Russian Placement Test.
  Students who are trying to decide between applying for the Upper Intermediate and the Advanced Russian courses should take the Advanced Russian Placement Test.

  After you have done the test, calculate your score, and write it on the bottom of your assessment form.

5. What happens next?

If you are being assessed as part of the enrolment process, you will receive an e-mail informing you of which course will best suit your needs after you have spoken with your teacher.

Please note that final confirmation of your course will only be sent once we know that there is sufficient interest to run your selected course.

Prospective students are reminded that:

• Each course level consists of 30 lessons and takes a full academic year to complete.
• The 30 lessons are delivered in 3 x 10-week terms, which follow the pattern of the academic year.
• The first term (Autumn) starts in October (Lessons 1-10), the second term (Winter) starts in January (Lessons 11-20), and the third term (Summer) starts in April (Lessons 21-30).
• We only accept applications from complete beginners in the Autumn Term for courses starting in October (i.e. Lessons 1-10).
• We accept applications from students wishing to start in the Winter or the Summer Term, provided that there are places available, and if the student's knowledge of the language is at a level appropriate to that of the class they wish to join at that stage.
