This message is addressed to any teachers in secondary
schools or in universities using the text Nachalo.
I am a high school teacher using Nachalo with individualized
materials from Ohio State University. My students, even the
excellent students, say that I am assigning too much and it is
unreasonable to expect such a fast pace from them. I have made
three lessons in Nachalo equal to one semester's credit, thus six
lessons in one year of high school Russian. It is in the second
year especially (Book 1 Lessons 7 & 8 and Book 2 Lessons 1-4) that
students believe the amount of work done is greater than in first
year and is too much.
I am aware that one year of high school foreign language is
supposed to equal one semester of college foreign language. So, my
question to you others who are using this text is: How much do you
cover in one high school year or one college semester? What do you
and your students believe is a reasonable pace? In order to cover
the material, do you skip activities or sections, and if so, what?
Thank you for your advice.
