Diverse Russian: A Multicultural Exploration
This OER textbook project, which is designed to help students achieve intermediate level in Russian, introduces cultural diversity within Russia and beyond in addition to grammatical, syntactical and lexical variations in all regions and countries that speak Russian. Students are expected to engage in meaningful projects and tasks that align with different foci within each module (e.g., culinary traditions in Georgia, family history and immigration in the United States, languages and identities within ethnic minorities).
I was most taken with the impressive interdisciplinary presentations in each unit, ranging from politics to art, form architecture to science. I truly believe that these materials will be a tremendous resource to many of our learners of Russian.
