    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Assessment of Russian as a Foreign Language: Unlocking Proficiency explores recent research, methodologies, and practices in Russian language assessment, offering a comprehensive guide for teachers, researchers, and administrators. The volume examines learner-centered and proficiency-oriented assessment, alongside technological innovations, including automated proficiency assessment and constructionist approaches. The book discusses emerging trends, including social justice-oriented assessment (e.g. feminist approaches and ungrading), positive psychology (e.g. authorized cheat sheets), and technological integration, including game-based assessments. This volume provides a wealth of resources to advance Russian language assessment, addressing a critical need in the field. It serves as an invaluable resource, enabling novice and experienced teachers to refine instructional strategies, to support researchers in exploring advanced assessment techniques, and helping administrators to enhance the overall learning experience.
