New Delhi: The India
Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) would soon be introducing
a short-term Russian language and culture course, an official
said.
IGNOU's School of Foreign Languages (SOFL) has collaborated with
the Russian Centre of Science and Culture (RCSC) here to introduce
the two-month course, the official said.
According to RCSC's deputy director (Culture & Information) Yelena
Shtapkina, the Russian language taught in many universities of the
world is not up to the Russian standard. As a result, the
candidate has to pass an additional test to qualify for a job, she
said.
RCSC is ready to facilitate appropriate teaching of Russian
language to meet the requirements by providing native teachers to
IGNOU under mutually agreed upon terms and conditions.
"Classes would be held twice a week on Fridays and Tuesdays in the
campus and it has been made compulsory for all faculty members of
SOFL and will also be offered to all faculty members and officers
of IGNOU," said SOFL director G. Chaudhuri.
