Russian language textbook project at Kansai University

A report

Abstract

This is a report on a project aimed at compiling a textbook for students studying Russian as a second foreign language at Kansai University, Japan. The salient feature of this textbook is the correspondence of each lesson to the subject matter of annual commemorations and other functions associated with Russian language and culture, which are actively organized at the university. The authors also examine the achievements in the making of the textbook, the impediments faced in the process, and the limitations of the textbook with reference to comments and feedback from students.
