RUS': A Comprehensive Course in Russian

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.Author: Smyth, Sarah,author,Crosbie, Elena V.,primary_contributor Contributors: Smyth, Sarah,author,Crosbie, Elena V.,primary_contributor Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: illustrated Edition: Illustrated Published/Release Date: 23 Jul 2002 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Cambridge University Press Author/Director/Artist: Sarah Smyth Dimension (cm): 246x189x41 mm Package Dimension (cm): 41x246x189 mm Item Weight (g): 1520 Package Weight (g): 1556
