Activities Manual in interactive form, audio and video materials. For more information, visit
www.mylanguagelabs.com. See p. 5 of this Manual for specific notes about MyRussianLab.com
GRAMMAR EXPLANATIONS. Nearly all the grammar explanations have been rewritten from the
ground up. Longer text-based explanations have been shortened or replaced by graphical
presentations.
ADJUSTMENTS TO LANGUAGE AND REALIA, AND SMALL-C CULTURE. Anyone following events
in Russia is aware of the continuing frenetic change of pace still ongoing in that country.
Accordingly, the authors have rewritten dialogs, texts, and grammar exercises to reflect those
changes, especially in technology and the Russian educational system.
NEW VIDEO. About a quarter of the video from the previous edition has been replaced. The
authors sought to include clips with younger, college-age participants. The video
consists entirely of interviews with real people speaking natural Russian, not actors.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES MANUAL. Of course, the main change here is the available of the SAM in
electronic format through MyRussianLab. That change engendered a small modification in the
order of presentation in each SAM unit. The initial exercises on numbers practice
() and pronunciation ( ) now appear after the Oral
Instructors Resource Manual
Introduction 1
Drills. The Oral Drills themselves have undergone more changes in this edition than in any other
previous edition, mostly to account for vocabulary changes in the language.
TESTING PROGRAM. The Fifth Edition offers two separate testing programs. A set of tradition
pen-and-paper tests is available in editable Word format on the Golosa authors site
(www.gwu.edu/~slavic/golosa). A set of modular computerized tests is available from Pearsons
MyLanguageLab.com.
By adopting a modular approach, the Testing Program allows for maximum flexibility, each
chapter of the Testing Program consists of a bank of customizable quiz activities closely
coordinated with the vocabulary and grammar presented in the corresponding chapter of the
textbook. These quiz activities primarily elicit discrete answers.In addition, a highly flexible
testing program provides two types of tests for each chapterone that solicits more open-ended
answers, and one that elicits more discrete answers. This is available in electronic formats (on the
IRC and in MyRussianLab, which allows instructors to customize the tests more easily), including
chapter tests and comprehensive examinations that test listening, reading, and writing skills, as
well as cultural knowledge.
A WORD ABOUT LISTENING EXERCISES

The section introduces students to the thematic and lexical concepts of the unit
and lays the groundwork for the initial listening comprehension exercises (). In most
of the units, the activities introduce lexicon that is later recycled in
. For that reason, we strongly advise teachers to assign the
activities before going on to . We also urge teachers to
emphasize to their students the suggestions made in the textbook about listening comprehension,
especially the following points:
1. Always read the questions first. The questions tell you what to listen for.
2. Dont try to understand everything in the conversation. Look only for the information
requested.
Its worth mentioning to students that a large part of the frustration of listening to connected text
in a foreign language originates in the mistaken notion that one should be able to understand
everything. Even in our native language we understand word for word only a little more than half
of what we hear. We use context and knowledge of what we assume is supposed to be said, as well
as our own feeling of self-confidence, to fill in the blanks. Your students can test this idea for
themselves. Tell them to try to identify the exact greeting used the last time they called a business.
They may not be able to repeat exactly what the receptionist said, but they know that s/he
probably gave the name of the place they were calling, perhaps in abbreviated form.
Introduction 2
It is important that students learn to transfer such native language listening strategies as using
context and prediction to the foreign language. For that reason, they should follow the
instructions printed in the book before they turn on the audio.
The same listening skills that students begin to acquire in the are further
developed later on in each unit in the section. Again, the same strategies
apply. Students cannot be reminded too often that listening to Russian that appears to go too
fast often seems too hard because listeners insist on getting every word. Students who do
follow the instructions in the assignment to the letter will find that they will understand enough
to complete the bulk of the assignment. In so doing they will have understood all of the important
information which is what listening is all about!
USING THE VIDEO

Availability. The video is available on DVD, MyRussianLab, and the Authors Companion
Website (www.gwu.edu/~slavic/golosa).
Scripts for the video program are included in this manual.
Whats in the video? With the exception of parts of Unit 2, the videos feature unscripted
interviews with real Russians in their homes, their places of work, and on the streets of major
cities. We asked interviewees to remember the target audience (beginning students of the
language). This slowed down a few speakers, but most ignored it. Only in a few instances did we
ask to re-shoot answers that turned out to be far too complicated for use with beginning students.
Suggestions for use. The video supplement is meant to be enriched homework. The
accompanying webpage exercises provide interactive pre- and post-viewing exercises. After
completing each webpage assignment, students are told whether they answered correctly or not,
and in most cases, how many items they understood. However, the self-correction on the
webpage does not provide access to the actual answer. For that reason, we suggest that on the day
an assignment is due, you and your students come to class with a printout of the webpage
assignments. If you bring a copy of the scripts, you can clear up any questions the students have
about what was said in the video.
About the Russian. Because the Russian is unscripted, authentic, and in the case of most
interviewees, quite spontaneous, we suggest that you emphasize to students that they cannot
understand everything word for word. The point of the video is to extract that information that is
understandable. For example, in a long sentence about languages a person knows, students should
be told to concentrate on the names of the languages mentioned, not the surrounding verbiage.
Perhaps the most important advice you can give your students is that they read all the
accompanying exercises on the webpage first, before they watch. Knowing what to expect will
help your students predict what is about to be said.
To caption or not to caption? In foreign-language listening comprehension captioning is a hotly
debated topic. Research shows that captions enhance student motivation and in some cases, make
Introduction 3
some vocabulary items more memorable. However, little evidence suggests that captioning helps
improve listening comprehension per se over the long term. Many researchers have concluded
that listening comprehension improves best when non-captioned material that is just above the
students immediate comfort level is well supported by pre- and post-task exercises, as is the case
with those in the program. The availability of captions through MyRussianLab and the
DVD allow both approaches.
Credits and acknowledgments. The video project was directed and edited by Richard Robin.
Kathleen Evans-Romaine and Kristin Peterson provided additional video. It was Kristin Peterson
who provided the original inspiration for the video component. The authors wish to thank all the
interviewees, many of whom devoted several hours to allowing us into their homes and
workplaces.
Questions concerning the video component of should be directed to Richard Robin
(rrobin@gwu.edu).
WORKING WITH THE DIALOGS

The that follow the are the backbone of any unit. Each unit contains four or
five of these short conversations, recorded with pauses for repetition out loud.
We advise teachers to start work on the after completing the listening practice in
. Many teachers start by having students repeat each dialog in class line by line as the
teacher introduces new words and grammar in a telegraphic way. The homework assignment is to
use the audio recordings to learn to be comfortable reading the new dialogs out loud with proper
stress and vowel reduction. Students can then be assigned to pick out a dialog and act it out for
the class (memorized) the following day. Encourage variations.
A variation of straight dialog reenactment is prompted reenactment. Each student actor gets a
loose English prompt for the line:
Prompt:
Vera, find out about Zhenyas English.
-?
Dialogs ensure a steady flow of speech for evaluating and correcting pronunciation, especially
vowel reduction and stress.
ORAL DRILLS
To many, oral drilling is no longer PC (pedagogically correct). Rather it is a relic of the audiolingual past of decades ago. Based largely on now discredited Skinnerian psychology, rapid-paced
oral drills were supposed to condition students into the right response in an appropriate
semantic or morphological context.
However, moderated drill has a place in the language learners resource bag. Drill produces an
initial burst of utterances with a new linguistic feature in which the learner pays close attention to
form. Still, drill should not be allowed to take over the classroom. Teachers should seek to turn
two-line drill dialogs into the kernels of multi-turn conversations.
Introduction 4

Role plays are a units crowning moment. Students get the chance to put together all that they
have learned to focus on meaning. All of the role plays involve an English speaker interacting with
someone who speaks only Russian. We suggest that in most role plays the teacher should play the
role of the Russian.
Role plays work best as repeated activities. Dont expect to assign them as homework one night
and see impressive performances the next day. Produce each role play as a separate production.
Consult with your students on the scripts (What ways can you tell someone your major?) and
then assign each role play for the next day for dress rehearsal. Dress rehearsal will show you what
yet for each situation is left to be mastered. Then on a subsequent day towards the end of the unit,
have them all present their role plays.
The can also be used as part of an oral testing program as described
immediately below.

MYRUSSIANLAB S.A.M.
Teachers who assign written exercises through the electronic version of the Student Activities
manual through MyRussianLab should keep in mind the following:
Variable answers. Machine gradable exercises allow for a number of correct answers. But because
Russian word order is flexible, not every remotely possible answer has been programmed as
acceptable. Howevr, in most cases, the list of possible correct answers includes everything that
first-year students are liklely to produce.
for ? In MyRussianLab, he letters and are considered separate, even though native Russians
usually accept for . This is so that students will not be lulled into wrong answers elsewhere,
such as * or into pronouncing as [].
Handwriting. Instructors will have to weigh the benefits of the electronic S.A.M. with the need to
have students learn and practice script. Some teachers may prefer to avoid the online S.A.M. for
virtually all written exercises until handwriting has been fully mastered. However, teachers in a
distance learning environment may choose to de-emphasize handwriting.
Introduction 5
Keyboarding. The interactive exercises accept answers in Russian from any Unicode-compliant
keyboard layout. The keyboard layouts for both Windows systems (XP or later) and Macintosh
computers (OS X and later) are by default Unicode compliant. However, MyRusianLab cannot
distinguish between errors in grammar and spelling from keyboarding mistakes. For example,
students who elect to use the student phonetic keyboard (QWERTY = ) are likely to
confuse with and with , which they would probably handwrite correctly. Students using
gosstandart (QWERTY = ) can expect MyRussianLab to reject answers due to adjacentkey errors, which, at least in the beginning, will be quite common.

Introduction 6
SAMPLE LESSON PLAN

CONTACT HOURS REQUIRED
Previous editions of required 100-120 contact hours. This works ideally for those
teaching Russian at four hours per week. Book One fits well into an academic year. However, for
those who teach 56 hours a week, finding even breaking points proved difficult. The new edition
provides additional activities and more recycling. In addition, the entire base morphology for
nouns, adjectives and pronouns (including the genitive plural) now appears in Book One. That
means that instructors under pressure to cover the basic morphology of Russian in one year can
do so. Because of the robust web and video component to accompany , one can stretch
the book out to as many as 180 hours of instruction. However, the modularity of the chapters still
allows for coverage in as little as 100 hours 90 hours, if instructors are willing to sacrifice some
activities in the initial , or sections.
The following schedule suggested assumes that the instructor has 100110 hours available to
cover Book One.

Introduction 9
ASSESSING ORAL PROFICIENCY

Oral testing should be an integral part of assessment: students learn what they know will be tested.
Students who complete both books of over 200-225 classroom contact hours and do well
in the course should reach Intermediate Low as measured in an ACTFL Oral Proficiency
Interview. However, throughout Book 1, it is unlikely that even the best students will achieve
meaningful results on the ACTFL scale.
For that reason, we suggest a program of oral prochievement testing. An oral prochievement test
has the sound and feel of an Oral Proficiency Interview a face-to-face conversation between the
tester and the examinee. But the test is not global: the tester concentrates on the communicative
skills that students are supposed to have mastered over a given unit.
In a typical prochievement test a teacher might ask a student to play the non-Russian
speakers part from one of the taken from the unit. We recommend that the
teacher play the part of the Russian.
When and how to test. We recommend testing for speaking alongside traditional written testing.
Oral prochievement testing in small sections. In small groups eight students or less teachers
can start students on the written test and then call students out into a quiet corridor outside the
classroom (but out of earshot of the class) for testing. Even if each oral prochievement test lasts as
long as five minutes, a teacher can test each member of the entire class in under a 50-minute
session. Of course, teachers who leave the room during a test may suspect cheating in the
unproctored classroom. We can only say that many users with over a decade of
experience have not found this to be a problem.
Larger sections. Individualized oral tests are impractical for every student during every written
test. We suggest testing a half or a third of the class during each unit test. This will provide about
three oral test scores during the course of the semester. Of course, teachers can schedule
additional oral testing during office hours. Students can often be enticed to do additional oral
testing if told that they can use the additional tests to pack the grade sheet, that is, to make up
for past weak performance.
Test scale. One possibility for an oral prochievement testing scale rates speakers in four categories
for a total of ten points:
1. Completion of task. Does the student complete the task assigned? In this case, does the
student speak for the time specified, giving a reasonable amount of information with the learned
vocabulary? (3 of 10 points.)
Introduction 10

Task completed in full. Speaker held the floor for the required time and gave the appropriate
amount of information.
Task largely completed. Speaker may have missed one important point or not spoken for the
required amount of time.
Task largely uncompleted.

2. Grammatical/logical coherence. Is the presentation coherent logically and grammatically?

Although one should not look for every grammatical error, do make sure that the information
presented is understandable and flows logically (3 of 10 points).

listener to follow the presentation with ease? (2 of 10 points.)

Understandable to Russian teacher.
Virtually incomprehensible
4. Fluency. Is the presentation delivered at a natural tempo? Does the speaker manage to avoid
the appearance of mechanical memorization? (2 of 10 points.)

1
0
Native listener would have found the delivery pleasing.

Native listener would have found the delivery halting or flat, but would have been willing to
listen through to the end.
Native listener would have not wanted to follow the presentation to the end.
Evaluation. In listening to students make their presentations, we suggest that teachers not
interrupt to correct mistakes unless they feel that a native listener would not have understood the
utterance.

1-14. Here is your chance to act as an interpreter for an English speaker and a Russian. The
purpose is to give additional practice using the linguistic material you are learning. Try to express
your clients ideas rather than translating every word. One student will play the role of the English
speaker who knows no Russian. This persons script is given. Your instructor will play the role of
the Russian. All students should prepare the interpreters role by planning how they will express
the English speakers comments in Russian. If you play the interpreter, you will have to give the
English version of the Russians comments as well as the Russian version of the English speakers
comments; those playing the English and Russian speakers must pretend not to know the other
language. If the interpreter runs into difficulty, he/she may ask a classmate to help out. You are in
Moscow. A friend who does not know Russian has asked you to help her get acquainted with
someone at a party.

her life in a communal apartment when Volodyas mother was a child.
Read through the grandmothers description and look for the following information.
How much space did the grandmother (then a young woman) have together with the rest
of her family?
One room, 30 square meters.
What was said about the bathroom and kitchen facilities?
Shared by three families.
What was said about dramas and scandals?
They are a common subject of discussion today, but in her familys case arguments with
the neighbors were rare.
What did the grandmother say about the others who shared the apartment with her
family?
They were nice people.
Was there anything good about life in a communal apartment?
They lived in the very center of the city, with everything nearby. Also, they were lucky
enough to have a telephone, a great luxury then, and phones lines were available only
downtown.
How old was Volodyas mother when the family lived in a communal apartment?
She was in first grade, so probably seven years old.
2. Language from context.

a. Naming things. The communal apartment was on Rubinshtein Street in Leningrad. (Anton
Rubinshtein was a 19th century Russian composer.) What is the grammar behind naming
things after people? What is the Russian for the following:
Lenin Library

d. Genitive and inexact quantities. In addition to numbers, most inexact quantities take
genitive. That should not be surprising because quantities are often expressed as of
constructions in English: many, much = a lot of; few, little = a bit of. Which such expressions
did you see in this passage?
, .
f.
The letter is usually printed in Russian-language textbooks and dictionaries, as well as in

childrens books. In other publications publishers normally drop the dots (known as the
dieresis). In handwriting, the use of is haphazard. The same writer might write in some
words and omit the dieresis in others. Go back through the letter. Did the writer substitute
for e in any words? Did she retain the anywhere?

The housing shortage that characterized the decades of Soviet rule left a deep imprint on
generations of Russians. No wonder one of the first questions Russians ask about housing is about
square meterage.
A typical two-room apartment might have a total of 30 square meters (excluding kitchen,
bathroom, and hallways).While the rooms are likely not to be of equal size, a normal
bedroom/living room might be 9 feet by 15 feet.
In the next exercise see what you can state about Mark Segals dacha.

Students may be interested to learn that in most professions, public sector jobs pay extraordinarily low salaries.
Similar positions in the private sector brings in considerably more money. However, work in the private sector is
unstable; workers can lose jobs at a moments' notice at the whim of the boss or if the employer goes bankrupt.
Income in Russia is computed monthly, not yearly, and pay for private sector jobs is usually quoted in dollars.
Payment, however is made in rubles. Here, all the job listings for Russia are given in rubles.

You are about to listen to two short biographies, one about Martin Luther King, Jr. and one
about Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov.
You probably already know that both became famous for their defense of human rights. But
how much more do you know? Most Russians have heard about King, but are unfamiliar with the
details of his life. Similarly, many Americans have a vague notion of who Sakharov was, but know
little more.
You are not expected to understand either of the passages word for word. However, keeping
in mind the background knowledge you already possess and listening for key phrases will allow
you to get the main ideas.
For both this passage and the next one you will need the following new words:
- rights:
- defense of civil rights
- defense of human rights
- broadening of economic rights
- problem of human rights
- activity
- public activity
- political activity
A.
1. List five things you know about King. Then check to see whether any of them are mentioned
in the biography.
2. Listen to the passage again. Pay special attention to the cognates below. Can you identify
them? (Note the words in this list are given in nominative singular. They may appear in other
forms in the passage. Do not let the unfamiliar endings throw you off!)
