Golosa

??????: A Basic Course in Russian, Book Two (Sixth Edition), takes a contemporary approach to language learning by focusing on the development of functional competence as well as the expansion of cultural knowledge.

The sixth edition of this bestselling communicatively based text for Russian has been updated by putting a greater focus on contemporary culture and simplified, visual grammar explanations that will better engage students. The program also covers the basic morphology of Russian (declension, case government, conjugation). The program has been a bestseller as a college Russian textbook through five editions since 1993.

Following on from Golosa Book One, Golosa Book Two is divided into ten units. Organised thematically, each unit contains dialogs, texts, exercises, and other material designed to enable students to read, speak, and write about the topic, as well as to understand simple conversations. The systematic grammar explanations and exercises enable students to develop a conceptual understanding and partial control of all basic Russian structures. This strong structural base enables students to accomplish the linguistic tasks and prepares them for further study of the language. Book Two is designed to bring students to the ACTFL Intermediate range in speaking (A2/B1 on the CEFR scale).
