Bridging the divide

This series is the first of its kind to bridge distance and cultural divides and promote a high-quality scholarly exchange beyond the borders of individual countries. The study of Russian as an additional or heritage language around the world today is often advanced by isolated professionals and enthusiasts – a phenomenon resulting from several waves of immigration from Russia. This has led to the emergence of creative and impactful pedagogy and research that are not widely shared. For the communication opportunities and technological achievements afforded by the modern society, education in the field of teaching Russian is not capitalizing on them and needs greater collegial collaboration.

Benefiting the diverse and often isolated learners of Russian all around the world, this Series provides an unparalleled opportunity of ongoing focused professional development and scholarly exchange to their teachers. This series calls to transform the reputation of Russian as a ‘difficult’ and intimidating language to learn and empowers the field by sharing impactful pedagogy and research. It helps learners to discover the innate beauty of Russian sooner and progress in its acquisition more successfully.

Audience

This series is intended for educators and researchers of Russian both affiliated with school districts or universities and working independently, postgraduate students, and language departments of Russian interested in increasing the impact of their instruction. It is ideal for bi- and multilingual literacy curriculum developers and language professionals returning to academic study and research. The series also meets the needs of professionals working with less commonly taught Slavic and other morphologically rich languages that have a smaller base of pedagogical narrations and research.
