{14}}Military personnel may find themselves in positions where clear understanding of
      conversations or written material of a controversial nature will be essential to their
      mission. As a result, topics in the areas of politics, international relations, mores, etc.,
      (which may be considered as controversial from some points of view) are sometimes included in
      language training for DLIFLC students. The presence of controversial statements -\/ whether real
      or apparent -\/ should not be construed as representing the opinions of the writers, the Defense
      Language Institute, Foreign Language Center, or the Department of Defense.\endNode{}

{29}}Introduction\endNode{}
    \Node%
{\def\Element%
{30}}The present manual is designed for Russian Basic Course students in the concluding phase
      (Term III), as well as for those taking Refresher, Intermediate and Advanced courses. It
      comprises materials on 30 everyday conversational topics. Each topic includes the following
      sections: Topical Vocabulary, Questions, Tasks and a List of Topics for Oral
      Presentation.\endNode{}
    \Node%
{\def\Element%
{31}}The \Node%
{\def\Element%
{32}}Topical Vocabulary\endNode{} section lists numerous
      vocabulary items and phrases subdivided into smaller groups related to the topic with their
      English translations. They may be used either for selective study guided by the instructor,
      for individual student needs, or for reference.\endNode{}
    \Node%
{\def\Element%
{33}}The \Node%
{\def\Element%
{34}}Questions section\endNode{} has two parts: (A) Vocabulary
      Questions and (B) Topical Questions. Part (B) is followed by 'Sample Answers to Topical
      Questions'. \Node%
{\def\Element%
{35}}The vocabulary questions\endNode{} are intended to activate
      the topical vocabulary orally. \Node%
{\def\Element%
{36}}The topical questions\endNode{}
      stimulate the learner to communicate his ideas on the given topic. They are very often of a
      personalized character. Sometimes they appeal to the learner's knowledge of the given
      situation in both the USA and in Russia. Such questions are usually provided with sample
      answers, whereby the learner can find information on the issue which will add to his area
      studies expertise.\endNode{}
    \Node%
{\def\Element%
{37}}The\Node%
{\def\Element%
{38}} Dialogues\endNode{} section comprises several short
      conversations illustrative of the topic. They are supplied with words for substitution, and
      can be practiced in pairs, either verbatim or with certain substitutional changes.\endNode{}
    \Node%
{\def\Element%
{39}}The \Node%
{\def\Element%
{40}}Tasks\endNode{} section requires the students to conduct
      conversations on given situations, read, answer questions, express their own opinions on
      certain issues and conduct interviews. The\Node%
{\def\Element%
{41}} situations\endNode{} are
      given in English and some of them are supplied with key words. The materials for \Node%
{\def\Element%
{42}}discussion\endNode{} allow the learners to express various points of view, and
      therefore can be used to stimulate discussion in class. \Node%
{\def\Element%
{43}}The
        interview\endNode{} assignment can be used to extract information about various aspects of
      life in Russia. The learner acts as an interviewer with the instructor as an interviewee. When
      answering the interviewer's questions, the instructor can resort to language somewhat above
      the learner's level. The task '\Node%
{\def\Element%
{44}}Relate the information you obtained to
        your editor, either in English, or in Russian\endNode{}', can help determine how much of
      the information was understood by the learner.\endNode{}
    \Node%
{\def\Element%
{45}}The concluding \Node%
{\def\Element%
{46}}Topics for Oral Presentations\endNode{} can be
      used as homework assignments to be presented and discussed in class.\endNode{}
