  4. (Term III), as well as for those taking Refresher, Intermediate and Advanced courses. It
  5. comprises materials on 30 everyday conversational topics. Each topic includes the following
  6. sections: Topical Vocabulary, Questions, Tasks and a List of Topics for Oral
  7. Presentation.</p><p>The <span class="italic">Topical Vocabulary</span> section lists numerous
  8. vocabulary items and phrases subdivided into smaller groups related to the topic with their
  9. English translations. They may be used either for selective study guided by the instructor,
  10. for individual student needs, or for reference.</p><p>The <span class="italic">Questions section</span> has two parts: (A) Vocabulary
  11. Questions and (B) Topical Questions. Part (B) is followed by 'Sample Answers to Topical
  12. Questions'. <span class="bold"><strong>The vocabulary questions</strong></span> are intended to activate
  13. the topical vocabulary orally. <span class="bold"><strong>The topical questions</strong></span>
  14. stimulate the learner to communicate his ideas on the given topic. They are very often of a
  15. personalized character. Sometimes they appeal to the learner's knowledge of the given
  16. situation in both the USA and in Russia. Such questions are usually provided with sample
  17. answers, whereby the learner can find information on the issue which will add to his area
  18. studies expertise.</p><p>The<span class="italic"> Dialogues</span> section comprises several short
  19. conversations illustrative of the topic. They are supplied with words for substitution, and
  20. can be practiced in pairs, either verbatim or with certain substitutional changes.</p><p>The <span class="italic">Tasks</span> section requires the students to conduct
  21. conversations on given situations, read, answer questions, express their own opinions on
  22. certain issues and conduct interviews. The<span class="bold"><strong> situations</strong></span> are
  23. given in English and some of them are supplied with key words. The materials for <span class="bold"><strong>discussion</strong></span> allow the learners to express various points of view, and
  24. therefore can be used to stimulate discussion in class. <span class="bold"><strong>The
  25. interview</strong></span> assignment can be used to extract information about various aspects of
  26. life in Russia. The learner acts as an interviewer with the instructor as an interviewee. When
  27. answering the interviewer's questions, the instructor can resort to language somewhat above
  28. the learner's level. The task '<span class="bold"><strong>Relate the information you obtained to
  29. your editor, either in English, or in Russian</strong></span>', can help determine how much of
  30. the information was understood by the learner.</p><p>The concluding <span class="italic">Topics for Oral Presentations</span> can be
  31. used as homework assignments to be presented and discussed in class.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="pr01.html">Prev</a>&nbsp;</td><td width="20%" align="center">&nbsp;</td><td width="40%" align="right">&nbsp;<a accesskey="n" href="ch01.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Preface&nbsp;</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">&nbsp;&#1043;&#1083;&#1072;&#1074;&#1072; 1. &#1041;&#1080;&#1086;&#1075;&#1088;&#1072;&#1092;&#1080;&#1103;</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
