European Multilingualism Course as Part of Contemporary Language Education in Russia

Abstract

The paper discusses efficiency aspects and learning outcomes of an elective course on European multilingualism created within the framework of EU Jean Monnet Modules project. The authors argue that the course facilitated the development of European multilingualism awareness (EMA) with students. The growth of EMA level illustrated by annual students’ feedback survey analysis demonstrates effectiveness of teaching strategies applied during the course implementation – on the one hand and adequacy of the course improvement strategies – on the other.
