Revolutionizing Russian: Martelle and Nuss's Innovative New Book
Exciting news! Associate Professor Wendy Martelle and Former Adjunct Instructor Svetlana Nuss have co-edited their second book, Teaching Russian Creatively With and Beyond the Textbook. This innovative publication stands as a testament to their pioneering approach to language instruction, offering educators fresh strategies and creative techniques for teaching Russian.
In an era where textbooks can quickly become outdated due to the fast pace of modern technology and media, this book provides a timely solution. Teaching Russian Creatively With and Beyond the Textbook is a collection of pedagogical narratives designed to enhance the teaching of Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL) by going beyond traditional textbook methods. The volume showcases a diverse array of approaches, including task-based language teaching, corpus-based learning, drama-based pedagogy, and community-engaged methods. By incorporating authentic materials and transforming them into dynamic learning tools, Martelle and Nuss provide practical advice and creative ideas for educators looking to inspire and engage their students.
This book is an invaluable resource for Russian instructors and language departments seeking to enrich their teaching practices and offer students a more interactive and meaningful learning experience. Congratulations to Wendy Martelle and Svetlana Nuss on this remarkable achievement!
