Intermediate

TORFL / TRKI B1–B2 & CEFR B1–B2

Programme Overview

Intermediate competence in Russian enables learners to move beyond memorised beginner exchanges and participate in longer, more purposeful communication. At this level, learners need broader vocabulary, stronger control of the case system, verb aspect and sentence organisation, increased Cyrillic reading fluency, improved listening stamina and confidence in everyday, academic, travel, digital and professional interaction.

This standalone Intermediate Level programme is the second stage of the Ziveka Campus Russian Language and Communication pathway. It is designed for learners who have successfully completed the Foundation Level or can demonstrate equivalent competence through placement assessment. Across two semesters, learners develop from supported routine communication towards increasingly independent speaking, reading and writing in familiar and moderately demanding contexts.
