. From the historical traditions of village gatherings with tea to modern rap performances. I will apply modern technologies
as mobile applications, elements of

For me it is important to

I plan on teaching with immersion in Russian using the direct method and the fact that 90% of the
students will speak Russian, I believe my advantage is that I will be able to explain complex aspects of grammar and mentality (

During the teaching and practice of the material, the teacher should monitor, including using concept checking questions, check for errors, and engage with students.
