RiDRU

RiDRU is an interuniversity research group established in December 2022 that brings together scholars working in the scientific disciplinary field SLAV-01/A (Slavistics) who have a strong interest in the scientific investigation of issues related to the teaching of Russian language and culture in the Italian university context.

From an interdisciplinary and transversal perspective, the group combines different approaches and orientations to the object of study (e.g., Russian as a foreign language, or RKI, glottodidactics, linguistics, disciplinary didactics), investigating the following themes in particular:

The group’s activities consist of conducting research and studies, developing new textbooks and teaching materials, and organizing study days and conferences. In concert with its scientific commitments, the group serves as a point of reference for all university teachers of Russian active in the Italian context and will offer insights and ideas for daily teaching practice and opportunities for reflection and sharing.

The creation of the site was funded by the MSCA Seal of Excellence @UNIPD RETEACH (2021-2024; https://reteach.disll.unipd.it).
