Etazhi
Second Year Russian Language and Culture
By Evgeny Dengub and Susanna Nazarova
A highly communicative approach to Intermediate Russian grounded in everyday culture and authentic texts
Etazhi uses the communicative approach to advance student's Russian proficiency from the Novice High / Intermediate Low level of the ACTFL scale to an Intermediate Mid / Intermediate High level. Designed for one academic year of instruction, Etazhi engages students with highly relevant topics to internalize new vocabulary, expand their grammatical reach, and deepen their cultural understanding of Russian speakers.
Chapters on Russian daily life, travel, dating and marriage, clothing, cuisine, health and medicine, education, holiday traditions, and careers are infused with humor and help students acquire the vocabulary and cultural nuance needed to discuss Russian literature, culture, and the arts. Hundreds of authentic texts, photographs, and illustrations gathered from across the Russian Federation—including authentic material written by real people about their experiences in Russia—show the diversity of Russian speakers, culture, and society. Each of the six chapters contains approximately fifty exercises that help students practice the four basic language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
This textbook improves vocabulary and grammar while promoting deeper cultural competency, preparing students to study abroad, and providing a firm foundation for advanced courses.
Special features include:
Audio transcripts to aid in comprehension checks (available for free on the Press's website)
A grammar reference with charts and tables, including case and verb charts
An extensive Russian-English glossary
Over 120 authentic photographs and hand-drawn images by a Russian artist
An instructor's manual with tips for teaching with the book (available for free on the Press's website)

Reviews
"Etazhi is a welcome addition to the Intermediate-level Russian language curriculum. Following a backward-planning approach from Rifkin, Dengub, and Nazarova's excellent third-year Russian textbook Panorama, Etazhi focuses on challenging points of grammar for second-year learners with a highly communicative, culturally grounded approach. Grammatical explanations are refreshingly brief, but with plenty of helpful examples as illustrations. The focus on everyday culture and intercultural communicative competence is laudable. Each chapter is logically constructed, providing students and instructors with a helpful sense of predictability in chapter structure, and exercises support learning in logical, communicative ways. The sequencing and spiraling of material throughout further reinforce learning. Intermediate-level learners and their teachers will be delighted to work with Etazhi!" — Karen Evans-Romaine, University of Wisconsin — Madison
