RUS': A Comprehensive Course in Russian

Sarah Smyth; Elena V. Crosbie

doi:10.1017/CBO9780511613647

This comprehensive foundation textbook is expressly designed for students embarking on a Russian language programme. Accompanied by 5 hours of audio materials, it develops the four key language skills - reading, writing, speaking and listening - and provides all the material required to reach intermediate level either at secondary school or during the first year of university. Highly interactive and activity-based, the course puts students firmly at the centre of the learning process, developing their autonomy as learners. It provides: thorough grounding in the grammar and structures of contemporary Russian; wide-ranging tasks and exercises for both classroom use and self study; informative texts selected to foster cultural awareness; topics including family life, education, history, geography, work and leisure; clear, attractive layout with lively illustrations to reinforce learning ; extensive reference features including a section on basic concepts of grammar; teachers' guidelines to enhance practical application in the classroom; and an on-line answer key.

'… I am sure all Russian teachers will wish to examine it closely.'

'This monumental work is probably the single most comprehensive Russian coursebook ever published … this course contains everything that has ever been proposed for inclusion in a language textbook, and more.'

Source: Rusistika

‘… the course provides essential knowledge of Russian culture, which helps students to understand how to use the language in an appropriate way in a variety of everyday situations. … The course's very clear structure, its efficient and stimulating presentation, the variety of materials and reference tools, and the detailed study aids and teacher's guidelines it includes make it ideal for students in the classroom or private study.‘
