Synopsis

Teaching Russian Creatively With and Beyond the Textbook is a collection of pedagogical narratives that promotes impactful approaches to teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL) when supplementing or going beyond a specific textbook.

With the lightning pace of modern news, social media, and technology, textbooks quickly become outdated and as a response to these rapid changes, this edited volume showcases a wide range of approaches to teaching RFL with and beyond traditional textbooks. The reader will find many creative ideas and solid practical advice from colleagues who have experimented with task- based language teaching, corpus-based learning, drama-based pedagogy, community-engaged pedagogy, and technology-mediated language learning, while incorporating authentic materials and turning them into living textbooks.

The book will be a useful resource for Russian instructors and language departments interested in engaging their students with creative and unique courses.
