  • Comprehend longer, simple texts on familiar topics, relying on contextual clues to extract main ideas and supporting details.
  • Compose comprehensible, more complex sentences about familiar topics to reflect a somewhat consistent working command of core vocabulary and language structures.
  • Demonstrate an increasingly accurate grasp of social protocols and contributions of Russian-speaking cultures, by analyzing and comparing them to one's own cultures.
