Abstract: We explore the integration of Media Literacy in the 2-year Russian language STARTALK program, "How Words Shape People: Understanding Business Russian Through Proverbs." Given the current geopolitical climate, particularly the ongoing war in Ukraine, fostering critical engagement with media has become more essential than ever. By encouraging students to interact with multimedia resources--including animated videos, podcasts, news articles, and the Russian National Corpora--the curriculum aims to enhance both language and media literacy skills. Media Literacy's Five Key Framework is applied to guide students in analyzing media critically while producing academic projects and cultural responses. We present a curriculum that fosters media literacy in a hybrid Russian-for-business-purposes program.
