Georgian and/or Soviet teaching methodology

[Renner-Fahey, Ona]

Hello all.
 
I am posting this for a colleague who will be teaching in Georgia.
Please respond directly to Diane Benjamin @  <mailto:paragon at bigsky.net>

I need information about Georgian and/or Soviet methods of teaching
expository and persuasive writing both at the secondary and at the
college level.  Do teachers of English use our basic
format--introduction/thesis statement, supporting evidence,
conclusion--when they ask students to write essays in English?  Is this
the same basic format as is used when writing in Russian or in Georgian?
Are there other differences in writing style?
 
 
Thanks,
 
Ona
