Book Description

‘Learning Russian through films A2-B1’is an open online textbook. It combines task-, content- and film-based learning approaches, contextualised via films depicting Soviet everyday life in the 1950-1980s. As learners (re-)watch these film episodes repeatedly, they are (re-)exposed to authentic Russian language and learn gradually without an explicit grammar focus. Pre-tasks introduce key vocabulary and essential aspects of Soviet daily culture, while the final tasks encourage students to apply and personalise their understanding of the content via recording vlogs, role-playing and impersonating film characters in spin-off scenes.
