Material Detail

Mezhdu nami is a free, web-based curriculum that provides a comprehensive introduction to Russian language and culture. It is organized around the experiences of four American students, each spending the academic year in a different Russian city. Their interactions with host families, roommates, fellow students and teachers create a universe of contextualized information that motivates the use of the target language in the classroom.  The program includes an mobile-friendly textbook and a set of four workbooks that can be downloaded as pdf or purchased as print-on-demand.

Winner of the 2017 Best Book in Pedagogy award from the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages and the 2016 Access to Language Education award from the Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium.
