Language study is not divorced from the study of literature and society. This is true both for beginners and also for advanced students so that an important objective is to acquire an understanding of the cultural background of the language being studied. In addition, students should gain a balanced appreciation of the contribution of the relevant culture to civilisation and an understanding of that culture's debt to other cultural traditions. Of particular importance is the development of an informed approach to the momentous political and historical events that have shaped the history of Eastern Europe in the present century.
