Feature Focused attention to skills development Each language skill (speaking, reading, writing, listening) is addressed in its own right. Abundant activities are provided to promote the development of competence and confidence in each skill area. Modularity Golosa incorporates the best aspects of a variety of methods as appropriate to the material. All skills are presented on an equal footing, but instructors may choose to focus on those which best serve their students needs without violating the structural integrity of individual units or the program as a whole. Authenticity and cultural relevance Each unit contains authentic materials and realistic communicative activities for all skills. Spiraling approach Students are exposed repeatedly to similar functions and structures at an increasing level of complexity. Vocabulary patterns of reading texts are recycled into subsequent listening scripts. Learner-centered approach Each unit places students in communicative settings where they can practice the four skills. In addition to core lexicon, students acquire personalized vocabulary to express individual needs. Comprehensive coverage of beginning grammar Communicative goals do not displace conceptual control of the main points of Russian grammar. By the end of Book 1, students have had meaningful contextual exposure to all the cases in both the singular and plural, as well as tense/aspects. Book 2 spirals out the basic grammar and fill in those items needed for basic communication, and for reading texts for the general reader, such as simple prose and press articles. Learning strategies Students acquire strategies that help them develop both the productive and receptive skills. This problem-solving approach leads students to become independent and confident in using the language. Phonetics and intonation Pronunciation is fully integrated and practiced with the material in each units audio materials and SAM exercises, rather than covered in isolation. Intonation training includes requests, commands, nouns of address, exclamations, and non-final pauses, in addition to declaratives and interrogatives. Dialogue and situation practice help students to absorb aspects of Russian phonetics and intonation. New Feature Completely rewritten grammar explanations emphasize simple language and provide visual representations to make complicated grammar structures more accessible to beginning students. Updated video component now includes more younger individuals to make it more compelling for students. Updated dialogs are now more contemporary, specifically in reference to technology, helping engage students. Updated authentic documents/realia reflect contemporary Russian culture. Many Student Activities Manuel exercises have been revised, addressing a wider variety of ways to focus students attention on form and encourage the creative use of the language.
