Subject: Routledge series on Russian Language Pedagogy and Research - "Teaching Russian Phonetics and Phonology – A Practical Approach"


Do you teach Russian as a foreign, second, or heritage language? Does
your work include teaching and practicing Russian pronunciation?
We are looking for classroom-based case studies that highlight
innovative and effective ways of teaching Russian phonetics and
phonology. Submissions may include brief reports on successful
teaching techniques or activities, as well as more detailed case
studies supported by theoretical reflection or empirical research. We
welcome contributions from instructors working in diverse
instructional contexts, including Russian as a second/additional or
heritage language, in tertiary education settings, immersion programs,
and study abroad environments.
Each chapter will describe a specific activity, lesson, or unit
focused on the teaching of Russian phonetics and/or phonology. The
case studies should be reflective and practical, aimed at fellow
instructors who may want to adapt the ideas for their own classrooms.
Topics may include (but are not limited to):
Pronunciation-focused games and communicative activities
Teaching rhythm, stress, and intonation
Teaching individual sounds and sound contrasts
Using gestures or visuals to support pronunciation
Adapting Russian phonetics instruction to L1-related learner
difficulties
Phonetics in the heritage classroom
Assessment of pronunciation
Pronunciation and listening comprehension
Grapheme-phoneme correspondence, the acquisition of Cyrillic script
Music for teaching phonetics
Engaging the senses and emotions in pronunciation teaching
Computer-assisted (including AI) phonetic instruction
Proposal Guidelines:
300–500 words
Include your name, affiliation, and the context in which you teach
(e.g., learner profile, type of educational institution and settings)
Please indicate if your case study has been classroom-tested
