Education prize<\/strong><\/p>\n

On December 16, our research group CLEAR received the prestigious Education prize (Utdanningsprisen)<\/strong>. The prize is granted by the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education at UiT for creation of two innovative educational resources, both launched in 2021:<\/p>\n

– “Min russiske reise”<\/a> (My Russian journey, a new interactive textbook for teaching elementary Russian) and<\/p>\n

– The Russian Constructicon<\/a> (a searchable database of over 2250 Russian multi-word constructions).<\/p>\n

Congratulations to those who worked hard on these two projects over the past several years!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because of the new regulations, only four members of our group were allowed to come to the ceremony, but the prize is given to the whole group. Pictured are (from left to right): Sonni Olsen (dean of HSL department), Tore Nesset, Svetlana Sokolova, Elena Bj\u00f8rgve, Anna Endresen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On November 12, our research group launched a new resource for teaching elementary Russian \u2013 \u201cMin russiske reise\u201d (Eng. \u2018My Russian journey\u2019). This is the result of the team\u2019s hard work during the pandemic (2019-2021). \u201cMin russiske reise\u201d is a brand new beginner’s course in elementary Russian that contains texts, grammar and interactive exercises. In addition, there are grammar videos, pronunciation exercises, songs and much more! The resource is available at: https:\/\/mooc.uit.no\/courses\/course-v1:UiT+C001+2020\/about<\/a>.\u00a0Congratulations to Svetlana Sokolova, Tore Nesset, Elena Bj\u00f8rgve, Daria Kosheleva, Elmira Zhamaletdinova, and Laura Janda!<\/p>\n
