- Timely and practical overview of how the Russian language learning classroom has changed and adapted through the pandemic, including the positive shifts that are likely to remain and evolve moving forwards. - Edited collection that showcases the different ways instructors have adapted their classroom practices to the demands and circumstances of the pandemic and what we can learn from these changes. - Outlines effective digital tools for remote and face-to-face teaching and how these can be used to facilitate student-centred courses.

Brings together the latest research and advances in task-based language teaching and highlights the specific and practical implications for morphologically-rich languages such as Russian. Instructors and researchers working in the field of Russian language teaching and learning, and interested in task-based instruction, will save time with this comprehensive resource that focuses on the factors and challenges unique to applying this method to Russian specifically. Comprehensive coverage includes topics such as the nature and types of tasks in course development, authenticity in task design, the role of the instructor in TBLT, teaching culture through TBLT, effective sequencing of tasks, the intersection of explicit grammar instruction and/or focus on form with task-based approaches, collaborative interaction within TBLT, technology-mediated tasks. The ideal companion for anyone interested in embracing TBLT and TSLT in their own pedagogical practices.

-The first comprehensive treatment of the topic from an international team of contributors who offer a variety of perspectives and approaches to the gamification of Russian. -Articles include case studies that show the theory in practice and provide ideas for implementation. -Provides a collection of innovative approaches to gamification that can be implemented in the language classroom to motivate learners and improve the outcomes of teaching Russian.
