Suggestions for Textbooks

[Erin Diehm]

We are preparing to teach two intensive 5-week courses of "Russian for
Reading" this summer.  (Participants are graduate students from other
disciplines who need to learn only to read Russian for research purposes.)
During the first 5-week session students will cover all basic grammar,
using one textbook as their main reference and source of exercises.  During
the second 5-week session, students will read and translate (as a class)
articles and texts chosen by the instructor.  Finally, students will choose
a scholarly article in their field of study and, working one-on-one with
the instructor, translate it into English.

Have any of you had experience teaching similar courses?  If so, which
textbooks and/or materials would you suggest?  We already have one textbook
in mind, but would much appreciate any additional suggestions or ideas.

Please respond off-list to:  diehm.1 at osu.edu

Thank you in advance!
