Each chapter addresses a rich topic of debate, providing students with a set of prereading activities, texts covering both sides of a debate topic, and continues with postreading comprehension and lexical development exercises-all of which foster the language and critical thinking skills needed for successful debates. A rhetorical methods section in each chapter integrates language and practice and prepares students for end-of-chapter debates. Using debate to develop advanced competency in a second language is a method that is finding increased interest among instructors and students alike, in both synchronous online teaching and the individual classroom. Students are prepared to participate fully in debates with their classmates-at home, abroad, or both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Brown, Tatiana Balykhina, Ekaterina Talalakina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626160880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626160880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Tony Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44567354671359,"sku":"9781626160880","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6740136b-ab9c-48a6-8b58-23d5f386ea5d.jpg?v=1701377336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mastering-russian-through-global-debate-tony-brown-9781626160880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
