Product Description

Product Description
This communicative, "natural approach" to introductory Russian emphasizes reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Everyday topics are presented to allow readers to begin communicating immediately. Grammar is presented as a necessary tool for communication and is introduced throughout. The book aims at comparing and contrasting cultures, rather than presenting the target culture only.

From the Back Cover
Conquer the first stage of the Russian language with a communicative approach that goes beyond memorizing vocabulary! Troika will take students through all aspects of beginning Russian study, including the language, life, and culture of today’s Russian people. Develop students’ speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills with: 18 lessons that address a wide variety of topics ranging from Nationalities and Languages, to Daily Schedules. A step–by–step approach to learning, with every lesson divided into sub–topics featuring their own exercises to allow for testing of the material in segments. A variety of diverse student activities such as oral discussions, pre– and post–reading activities and writing exercises to foster group work as well as independent study. A full end–of–chapter grammar discussion, with exercises to foster the development of accurate communication skills. Authentic readings that are interwoven with the chapter topics, rather than in separate sections, to capture students’ attention. Cultural sections on famous people, as well as facts in geography, history and tradition, to enhance student appreciation of Russian life as well as language. This text is accompanied by ancillary materials that enrich Russian study for both student and instructor! For the Student: • Student Textbook (30945–1) • Workbook/Lab Manual/Pronunciation (30944–3) • Audio Cassettes (13805–3)—ask your bookstore to order! For the Instructor: • Annotated Instructor’s Edition (12926–7) • Test Bank (13803–7) • Audio Cassettes (13805–3) • Tapescript (13877–0).

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful but confused, 17 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I am a native Russian speaker and have helped teach college-level beginning Russian with this book's help. My major complaint is that food, clothing and body parts--essential basics for communication--are left out for the better part of the book. Otherwise, it's a satisfactory textbook, but I would not use it again.
