Golosa : A Basic Course in Russian (book 1). This item is unavailable.Golosa : A Basic Course in Russian (book 1)

For courses in First-year Russian - Introductory Russian.

Golosa is a two-volume, introductory Russian-language program that strikes a balance between communication and structure. It is designed to help students reach the Intermediate range in speaking and listening plus reading and writing. The robust Companion Website offers additional lexical and grammatical exercises, links to authentic Russian websites, and the entire Golosa audio program.

Key Benefit: The first volume of this beginning-level Russian- language program addresses four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing), as well as culture. Readers are exposed repeatedly to similar functions and structures at an increasing level of complexity while each unit puts them into communicative settings in all four skills. The book's flexibility dictates no particular methodological approach. Key Topics: Each unit, based on a common theme, contains a set of goals for each of the skills, supported by dialogues, texts, exercises, and other material necessary for the achievement of these goals. Both Book I and II present a balance of functional competence on the one hand, and accuracy on the other. The materials present a systematic framework of Russian grammar.
