Close attention is paid to word formation, which promotes the development of reading comprehension capability. Language material is organized and introduced as a set of working tools ready to be used and reused for different topics. All of this and much more makes this textbook a unique resource for a wide range of learners and teachers ? from undergraduates to graduate and professional students. In addition, ?????! Building on Your Foundations in Russian can serve as a hands-on teaching tool for graduate courses on methodologies of teaching Russian and applied linguistics. It represents a helpful resource for Russian instructors beginning their teaching career, as well as for independent study."
