Abstract:

An advanced, student-centered textbook that uses popular media to explore
diverse perspectives from across Russian-speaking cultures

Pro-dvizhenie is a student-centered, inquiry-based textbook designed to build
Advanced-level Russian proficiency through engagement with timely topics that
encourage reflection and examination. Whether exploring the role of technology
in relationships, learning about indigenous communities of Russia, or
reflecting on what it means to live well, Pro-dvizhenie uses popular Russian
film, TV, and media as a springboard for various types of activities,
including skill-building exercises, essay writing, and group projects.
Students are encouraged to challenge assumptions and make intercultural
connections throughout while developing ACTFL Advanced-level skills such as
argumentation, narration, and collaboration.

Students benefit from extensive activities and resources, including audio and
video of diverse voices and viewpoints from across Russia, available to stream
on the Press website. A full-service textbook for instructors, Pro-dvizhenie
includes extensive online instructors' resources, such as additional grammar
and vocabulary assignments, writing and group project prompts, grading
rubrics, and answer keys. A modular structure and activities at various levels
of difficulty give instructors the flexibility to select material in the book
based on their class's needs, making Pro-dvizhenie perfectly suited for
mixed-level classrooms. The textbook can be used over one semester or over the
course of a full year.
