Dear Russian Language Teaching Colleagues,

The American Home in Vladimir, Russia, in cooperation with Dr. Alexei Altonen and the English faculty at Vladimir State University, is pleased to announce the 2016-2017 Russian-American Student Writing Exchange – an opportunity to provide advanced language students additional opportunities to write in Russian and communicate with their Russian peers.

While participating in the Writing Exchange, Russian and American students will regularly communicate (about once a month) via email about selected topics. They will write in their language of study (Russian or English), with their partners correcting their grammatical, lexical, stylistic, and phraseological mistakes and then responding to what has been written.

As much as possible, we would like to pair third and fourth year American students with their Russian peers from advanced English classes at Vladimir State University.

There are several openings available in the project for new student participants. If you or your colleagues would like to provide your advanced Russian language students with additional writing and communication opportunities – or if you have any questions about the Writing Exchange, the Intensive Russian Language Program, or any other aspect of the American Home‘s work – please contact me as soon as possible (david.matthew.johnson@vanderbilt.edu).

For more information about the American Home, please visit www.serendipity-russia.com and https://www.facebook.com/AmericanHome/. There you will find information about our programs and links to an introductory video, our blog, and Face Book page. Below you will find brief information about three other programs: Alternative Spring Break in Russia 2016, Intensive Russian Program, American English Program Teaching Positions.

If you have any questions about the Writing Exchange, the Intensive Russian Language Program, or any other aspect of the American Home‘s work, please contact me (david.matthew.johnson@vanderbilt.edu).

Sincerely,
David M. Johnson
