Teaching Materials
Communicative Approach (Communication is essential!)
The Communicative Approach has been proved to be one of the most successful in providing confident learners who are able to make themselves effectively understood in the shortest possible time.
The teacher will speak only Russian, and explain the new material using familiar vocabulary and kinetics: facial expression, gestures, pictures, photos and videos.
First, you will acquire words, and only then apply grammar structures to them.
The teacher will offer you up-to-date topic-based problem-solving tasks. You will be asked to cooperate in pairs or groups and participate in role-plays and live discussions to find a satisfying outcome of a given situation using only the Russian language. Thus you begin to think in Russian!
Each lesson you are going to participate in an informal discussion, which will help you forget about your language barrier and simply start speaking!
We use communicative activities, mass media and information technology - everything that will help you learn about Russian lifestyle and start to communicate without any problems!
