Book 2 (Second Edition) & Workbook and Laboratory Manual (Second
Edition). The two books and their accompanying materials are available at the
university bookstore.
CD’s: A small set of CD’s
containing the readings of each lesson is included with the textbook. In
addition, the workbook comes with a Student Listening Comprehension Program on
seven audio CD’s. These CD’s—one for each lesson—correlate with lessons in the
Workbook and Laboratory Manual. They contain dialog practice as well as
audio exercises to be turned in as homework assignments.
Computerized Drill Program: A
tutorial program containing all the grammar exercises in the textbook is
available on line. Various types of exercises, feedback on answers, and a
provision for sending in a summary of your performance by e-mail to the
instructor are provided. The program can be accessed at
http://lol-russ.umn.edu/Nachalo/. It requires a computer running
Microsoft Windows and the Internet Explorer browser, version 5.5 or higher. A
portion of your homework can be done and reported using this program. If you do
not have access to suitable equipment, ask the instructor for information about
an alternative method for completing this portion of the required work for the
course. The computer assignments are due near the end of each lesson, as shown
on the class calendar.
Homework: All homework
assignments and their due dates are specified on the course calendar.
