Learn Russian through Contemporary Short Film
About this book
Learn Russian through Contemporary Short Film is a book with 12 modules, based on modern Russian and Kazakh short films released between 2014–2022.
The films immerse students in various aspects of culture and daily life. This greatly assists the development of advanced-level Russian proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
The inquiry-based approach provides active stimuli for productive discussion. The book is aimed at the High-Intermediate to Advanced levels (B1 – C1 in the CEFR).
- Each book chapter includes a series of activities offering engaging frameworks in which students can advance all four language skills.
- By utilizing short films as teaching materials, instructors can deliver engaging learning modules within limited timeframes.
- The book's modular approach to structure offers flexibility for the instructors, who can choose films and exercises that best suit their particular pedagogical goals.
- The book includes keys to exercises, making it suitable for self-study.
The book is aimed at university students learning Russian as a foreign language at the High-Intermediate level or above, Russian students at vocational centers, high school students sitting Russian as a second language exam, or self-directed Russian learners who wish to enrich both their command of the language itself and their insight into Russian daily life and contemporary cinema.
