# Chapter 2. Expansion of materials

This course is intended to follow the course entitled SURVIVE A RUSSIAN PARTY 7543.01 Dade County Board of Public Instruction, Division of Instruction. In that course, the section on expansion of materials deals with the problems of pronunciation and reading and writing Cyrillic print and script. For continuation or reinforcement of these skills, you may find it profitable to utilize materials from that course.

Both units presented in this course utilize typical audio-lingual methods, A review of these methods and procedures prior to instruction will prove beneficial.

While the text authors suggest that a unit can be completed in 10-12 days, actual classroom experience has shown that the materials require at least twice that amount of time. The teacher's edition provides the teacher with simple quizzes to indicate student progress toward completion of the unit. There is an exercise workbook and a testing manual which are helpful to the teacher as well.

The authors of this quinmester feel that the teacher's edition and supplementary materials provide thorough expansion of text content. The inclusion of independent research and song singing will broaden the students' exposure to the target culture.

Should time remain after the objectives of this course are met, proceed to the next unit.
