Article Abstract:
Russian students who are spending a year on an exchange programme at Thames Valley University in west London have expressed some reservations about their experiences. They have found that their needs are not being specifically addressed, with the teaching not always helping them to improve their English. These comments should be taken into account by other universities hoping to establish links and exchanges with Russian partners.
