For nearly two hundred years the countries of the Slavic world have played an
increasingly prominent role in international life, and have provided our
civilization with numerous writers, musicians, philosophers, religious and
political thinkers, and scientists
of note. The richness of the Slavic cultures has a special significance for Canada,
since the vast influx of Slavs, which began in the last century, has contributed
greatly to the Canadian cultural mosaic.
The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures offers an extensive
range of courses in Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Czech and Slovak, Croatian,
Serbian,
and Macedonian languages and literatures, as well as in Slavic linguistics.
Within this
range there are courses suitable for inclusion in a wide variety of programs
of study, whether or not the student has studied any Slavic language
previously. Some students may specialize in Slavic Languages and Literatures,
i.e. Russian,
Polish or
Ukrainian (see Programs of Study). Others may simply wish to gain a working
knowledge of Russian or another Slavic language to aid their reading of important
material
in another field. Language study emphasizes small instructional groups,
with some laboratory or conversational practice, and the use of literary
materials.
Courses in the literatures and cultures of various Slavic countries explore
the artistic, intellectual, and social currents of their civilizations,
trace the literary history of each country, and examine the works of
major authors. To encourage an awareness of
the significance and pertinence of Slavic literatures and cultures, many
of our courses are offered in translation. The growing importance of
Eastern Europe in contemporary affairs has had the effect of making
academic study of this area
especially lively and relevant. The student whose interest in the Russian
or East European world is political, historical, or sociological can
specialize in Russian and East European Studies, or pursue a course
in Political Science, History, or
Sociology, and at the same time take language courses, and perhaps selected
courses in literature, in this Department. Students planning to specialize
in Economics, Psychology, Mathematics, or any number of other fields,
who have a special
interest in the Russian or East European area, will find an advanced knowledge
of Russian or of another Slavic language an important intellectual
and professional asset.
Students intending to take a Program offered by the Department are
asked to study carefully the Programs of Study and are urged to begin
their language
training as soon as possible. A Departmental brochure is available on
request.
