Subject: CfP: The Big Book of Tasks for Teaching Russian


Do you use tasks for teaching Russian as a foreign, second, or
heritage language? Please share your experience and ideas in The Big
Book of Tasks for Teaching Russian.

Veteran and new teachers from various fields and backgrounds of
Russian language instruction are encouraged to participate. We invite
tasks for both adult and children’s audiences. International
participation is strongly encouraged – please share this call with
your colleagues.

Language of publication: English; length: 500 words (additional space
may be available but please be concise). This is a practical book of
tasks with no literature reviews or theoretical explorations.

The Big Book of Tasks for Teaching Russian is a practice-oriented
collection for teaching Russian as an additional or heritage language
using task-based language teaching (TBLT). This book offers educators
a wide range of practical, ready-to-use tasks grounded in real-world
scenarios, making it a valuable resource for developing communicative
competence as well as the four domains of listening, reading,
speaking, and writing. Each task is tailored to a specific proficiency
level and aligns with the TBLT framework, which emphasizes meaningful
language use and learner engagement. The collection promotes active
student participation and allows for personalization and adaptability
to meet diverse classroom needs.

Submission requirements:
Title of the task
Short description
Resulting product (other than language development)
Materials (if any)
Can-do statements (3–5)
Directions for students
Assessment ideas: How do the students know whether they succeeded?
Language structures and main vocabulary involved
Tips for implementation and extension ideas. A sample model of student
work expectations (strongly preferred but not required): a link and QR
code to the YouTube video, a photo or illustration of student- or
instructor-produced work, screenshots of student written responses
(both examples and non-examples are invited). Please send attachments
