Elementary Russian Textbook? Help!

[Vardanyan, Ashot]

If the Ruslan 1 text is available at stock, I would recommend it. This book is full of excellent follow-up activities that help firm up the vocabulary and grammar. My students also enjoyed the combination of "from screen" and "from book" teaching by using the course CD-ROM and audio CDs.
 
All Ruslan texts, including the one for the beginners, are especially helpful for communicative purposes.

Dear SEELANGERS:

We have an emergency situation in that McGraw-Hill has just informed
us that their Nachalo text is "out of stock indefinitely" and that there is
no reprint date. We start classes in the last week in September and need
to order some other elementary text here at The Evergreen State College.
Please let me know what some of you use (other than Nachalo) and what
you might suggest we order. We used the Troika text before adopting
Nachalo and could go back to it. Are there any other really good textbooks
(with workbooks and, hopefully, audio) out there? Our students may be
freshmen through seniors. We have four hours of language class every week,
and are on the quarter system.

Thanks so much in advance--

Patricia Krafcik, Ph.D.
