Business to offer two new classes By MICKI SELLERS SENIOR ST AFP WRITER Learning a foreign language is like learning ballet. One learns all the steps, but acquiring the skills takes time and determination, according to Alla Paroaiatnikova, assistant professor of business, who teaches the Russian language classes here. Paroaiatnikova joined the SUU business faculty two years ago. Prior to this, she taught American literature and mass media at Moscow State University. Today, Paroaiatnikova is teaching Russian classes in America, and she said she hopes to educate American students about the beauties of Russian culture. She said she is hoping to achieve this goal in two ways. The first is in the offering of a Russian language business class being taught next fall in the business department. Paroaiatnikova said the words used in business vary greatly from the basic language taught in her classes and therefore, merit its own class. "This class requires learning a lot of the new vocabulary associated with business such as 'shipping, delivering' and the contract terms," she said. She also pointed out that native English speakers take "business English" classes to understand what these terms mean in context. "It is a class for I students who would find a better jobs with their Russian language skills in business; it doesn't mean they need to be business majors." Students interested in the business Russian class need to take Russian 101, 102, 103, 201 and 202 first. The second way Paroaiatnikova said she is helping to educate Americans is through a more appetizing means. This summer she will teach a class in Continuing Education, "Teachable Feast: Russian Culture through Cuisine." . Paroaiatnikova said that because Russia is so large, the cuisine differ from area to area, just as the culture. "I am not only going to concentrate on the cooking; I want to tell them about the culture of food. Food usually is reflects your cultural habits," she said. She describes the variety of foods of Russia as being extremely rich in taste. "For Russians, the food is not only a meal, it is a way to interact," Paroaiatnikova said. Paroaiatnikova said she feels bad for Americans because there is such a wide variety of foods in the stores, but the people purchase the same things over and over. "We were given our fi ve senses. Among them, taste, not just for waste, "she said. " We love to look at beautiful flowers for our vision; for our hearing, beautiful music. Taste is another sense given to us not for nothing, but because taste is something we can really enjoy." Alla Paroaiatnikova |
