Teaching Materials after "Face to Face" for High Schools and Colleges

[Zita Dabars]

Dear SEELANGERS: 

Recent correspondence on SEELANGS about high school textbooks and, the 
question: If teachers use Glencoe/McGraw Hill's textbooks, “Russian Face to Face,
” Levels 1 and 2, what do they use in more advanced classes brings me to 
write this e-mail. I hesitate to write, as a coauthor of the teaching 
materials I refer to below, since authors are suspect if they recommend their own 
materials. However, the materials to which I will refer to are available from 
four sources and clarification on what can be obtained from each of these 
sources may be of help. And, of course, I do think that they are great! Before 
the answer to what materials can be used beyond Levels 1 and 2 of “Face to 
Face,” here is information on those two textbooks.

availability of the Audiocassettes for the Teacher's Edition or the Answer Key 
for the Workbook. If interested, please contact me.
