The Russian Language Institute is our original intensive language program.\u00a0 The RLI was first offered as a summer language program in 1993 on the campus of Columbia International University.\u00a0 Today It is a full-time, year-round institute located in Spokane, Washington, which is home to over 40,000 Russians and a large number of Russian-speaking churches. We remain committed to providing students with accelerated programs that ensure the speedy acquisition of the Russian language and a strong understanding of the culture.<\/p>\n

At RLI we don’t mess around.\u00a0 Here you will be speaking, reading and writing in Russian within weeks of beginning your training.\u00a0 The year-round Institute is designed to provide new trainees with a complete program of study in order to meet the minimum language proficiency level required for\u00a0effective communication in most basic life and ministry situations.\u00a0 Completion of the 8-month program (6 months for those who qualify) provides one with\u00a0certification in the language, ensuring effective long-term lyanguage acquisition with continued study following the institute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Structure of the Year-round RLI<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Russian Language Institute gives new students the potential of beginning their training in the Fall and completing training in the Spring semester. The complete program is broken down into two different tracks of study (when enrollment allows), according to the specific needs of our trainees. When larger numbers of students are enrolled, we offer an Accelerated Track for quick language acquisition, and a Standard Track of study (which is appropriate for most of our students).<\/p>\n

Assignment to the accelerated track of study is based upon a Language Aptitude Exam and Cognitive Profile that we administer to new students.\u00a0 The exam evaluates and identifies your specific learning needs so that we can best serve you in acquiring the language. With an appropriate score on the aptitude test, students may qualify for the accelerated course. The result of this system is a program that suits virtually any individual’s language-learning aptitude and situation. The goal is that with proper study and effort,\u00a0no one fails to learn.\u00a0 The two Tracks of study work with the following schedules for our full-time certification program:<\/p>\n

Accelerated Track of Study:<\/strong>\u00a0 A 6-month course of study that begins in the Fall and runs until our Spring Break (approximately the third week of March).<\/p>\n

Standard Track:\u00a0 <\/strong>An 8-month course of study that begins in the Fall and runs through the Spring.<\/p>\n

Other Programs:<\/strong>\u00a0 We also provide an Online Study Program<\/em><\/a> for students who need to study from remote locations or are unable to attend our campus in Spokane. Studying online with LCTI is not like standard online programs. Students enjoy a virtual classroom experience, with video sharing, whiteboard and class member and teacher visibility.\u00a0 Combined with our proven methods, you will be able to make good progress learning Russian online. It is also good preparation for eventual immersion.<\/p>\n
