>> KENSINGTON, MD, JUNE 09, 2009:
>>
>> Russia Online, Inc. is proud to announce the first North American edition 
>> of Ruslan Russian 1 textbook and workbook (beginner's level). The Ruslan 
>> series, first published in the UK, is the leading textbook for the 
>> communicative approach to teaching Russian in the United Kingdom. Ruslan 
>> has been published in translation in Germany, France, the Netherlands and 
>> Sweden. Previously available only as an import, this course has been 
>> revised and edited to meet North American academic standards. Russia 
>> Online collaborated with the English author and a contributor here in 
>> Washington DC to make sure the course book is interesting and relevant to 
>> beginner students of Russian in the United States and Canada. To date, 
>> the Ruslan course has been used with great success in high schools, 
>> universities and with the US Government.
>>
>> Ruslan 1 was created by teachers in the UK with years of experience 
>> teaching both adults and young people. The course maximizes the enjoyment 
>> of learning a new language, while giving a thorough grammatical and 
>> structural introduction in a communicative context. The course can be 
>> used by people learning in groups with a teacher, and there are a large 
>> number of group activities and language games. The series is also useful 
>> to self-learners, especially when used with the Russian 1 Workbook, or 
>> the Ruslan 1 interactive CDROM. The approach is practical and 
>> communicative, with up-to-date, useful language, thoroughly vetted by 
>> Russian teachers living in Russia, and by Russian Language instructors at 
>> the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the US Department of 
>> Energy (DOE) and the US Department of Commerce (DOC).
>>
>> Currently the Ruslan Russian 1 communicative Russian course and the 
>> supplementary Workbook (both include audio CDs with dialogs) are 
>> available.  Work has begun on preparing the second level textbook and 
>> workbook.
>>
>> Teachers, who would like to receive an examination copy, please contact 
>> Ms Elena Rakhaeva.  Telephone: 301-933-0607, Email: 
>> Elena at russia-on-line.com. You can also download the first lesson free of 
>> charge from www.ruslan.co.uk/demos.htm
