    A look at the background, language,

    values and beliefs, and teaching strategies


    of Russia.

    Взгляд на фон, язык, оценивает и


    верования, и обучение стратегий России.

    By Chris Farley, Dorothy Rock, Tiffany Lacroix, Andy Young


    Background - Фон
    Language - Язык
    • Slavonic Branch of Indo-European Language
    – Closely related to Polish, Czech, and Serbo-Croation
    • Spoken by about 150 million people in Russian and
    former republics of USSR
    • Russian is a phonetic language
    – Pronunciation can be determined from spelling and vice-
    versa
    • Formed using the Cyrillic Alphabet
    – 33 letters (21 consonants, 10 vowels, 2 without sound –
    soft sign and hard sign)
    – Some letters similar to Latin Alphabet
    – Consist of 5 vowel sounds, no differentiation between
    long and short vowel sounds
    Language Difficulties –
    языковые трудности
    • Uses a punctuation system said to be one of the most
    difficult to learn
    • Russian consists of 5 vowel sounds, with no
    differentation between short and long vowels. English
    has 12 vowel sounds (5 long, 7 short), plus 8
    dipthongs.
    • Grammar systems show significant variations
    – English has a fairly fixed word order and meaning changes by addition of
    words; Russian conveys meaning largely through changes in the composition
    of words and word order is very fluid

    • Russian has no articles. This causes significant


    problems because the whole concept of article use is
    alien to Russian learners of English, and the English
    article system itself is extremely complex.
    Values and Beliefs –
    Ценности и верования
    Teaching Ideas or Strategies –
    Обучение Стратегий
    • In Russia, hand shaking is a very important custom. This
    bean game could be incorporated into a math lesson:
