DEIA Perspectives in Russian Curricula

• In Event: New Perspectives on Teaching Russian

Abstract

The third paper emphasizes the importance of recognizing the diversity and richness of Russian-speaking cultures in teaching materials and activities. It also discusses how Russian-language and culture curricula can be reworked at different proficiency levels to include diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) information and perspectives. The implementation of the DEIA principles in the curriculum is reviewed. Learners engage with varied authentic and semi-authentic written, audio, visual materials and perspectives to gain a more accurate understanding of the target culture(s), DEIA matters in them, and themselves.
