Russian Full Circle

"Russian Full Circle" is a fresh approach to the Russian textbook. Deliberately "bare-bones" in its design, this textbook allows instructors to deliver in one academic year a full first-year Russian language curriculum. It consists of ten lessons that cover all major grammar topics and provide an ample amount of essential vocabulary on a variety of themes. A rich ancillary Web site provides cultural content and supplemental audiovisual materials. In promoting both flexibility for teachers and self-directed learning for students, "Russian Full Circle" provides a needed alternative to the two-volume, densely packed first-year Russian textbooks currently on the market.
