A highly communicative approach to Intermediate Russian grounded in
everyday culture and authentic texts Etazhi uses the communicative
approach to advance student's Russian proficiency from the Novice
High / Intermediate Low level of the ACTFL scale to an Intermediate
Mid / Intermediate High level. Designed for one academic year of
instruction, Etazhi engages students with highly relevant topics to
internalize new vocabulary, expand their grammatical reach, and
deepen their cultural understanding of Russian speakers. Chapters
on Russian daily life, travel, dating and marriage, clothing,
cuisine, health and medicine, education, holiday traditions, and
careers are infused with humor and help students acquire the
vocabulary and cultural nuance needed to discuss Russian
literature, culture, and the arts. Hundreds of authentic texts,
photographs, and illustrations gathered from across the Russian
Federation-including authentic material written by real people
about their experiences in Russia-show the diversity of Russian
speakers, culture, and society. Each of the six chapters contains
approximately fifty exercises that help students practice the four
basic language skills-listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
This textbook improves vocabulary and grammar while promoting
deeper cultural competency, preparing students to study abroad, and
providing a firm foundation for advanced courses. Special features

(available for free on the Press's website)* A grammar reference
with charts and tables, including case and verb charts * An
extensive Russian-English glossary* Over 120 authentic photographs
and hand-drawn images by a Russian artist* An answer key, sample
