I Love Russian A1" is a bright and up-to-date course book, intended for levels from complete beginners to A1+ according to CEFR (100-120 contact hours). It is created by Liden & Denz academic team in accordance with communicative approach to language teaching and can-do criteria.The books were extensively tested at our campuses in St.Petersburg, Moscow, Riga and Irkutsk and are the cornerstone of our syllabus.

'I Love Russian A1" introduces the language foundations in a communicative manner, through dialogues, visual images, simple texts and infographics. The book has 14 lessons split into 3 modules, and features about 120 minutes of authentic audio material, accessible with QR code at the beginning of every module or via the links at the end of the book. Each module covers all language aspects and is a well balanced and structured mix of phonetics, grammar, drill, and oral skills activation brought together by a daily life conversational topic and a can-do objective. Each module also features a glossary, a self-assessment (can-do criteria), and a revision/progress test section.
The communicative teaching method implies interactive lessons, where students are encouraged to immediately apply new material to real-life situations. The lessons are not grammar-centered; in fact, the course book introduces just enough of it for pragmatic purposes of understanding and being understood. Students have the opportunity to draw their own grammar patterns and therefore to own the knowledge. However, there are grammar reference pages at the end of the book.

The course book has a sufficient and reasonable amount of exercises for anchoring and consolidation of material, and is used as a workbook as well.

A1 teachers book features suggested lesson plans, extra material, insights and ideas for adapting the book material for different learning objectives, age groups, groups sizes, individual tuition etc. It also has the audio scripts, tests keys, and mid-term progress tests (after lessons 1-3, 4-5, 8-9, 10-11, and 12-13), end-of-level tests for levels A1 and A1+.
