ISBN 978-1-900405-17-1
CD-rom containing MP3-format recordings in Russian, PowerPoint presentations, and written materials for students and teachers.
This new venture by one of the authors of the highly successful TRANZIT and KOMPAS and by several contributors, all of whom are practising teachers of A-level Russian, is now fully available and is proving very popular with teachers. There is no textbook, and we are not intending to publish one, but we have taken the following course of action:
Schools and colleges may subscribe to the project for £150.00 per institution, and in return will be granted a licence to make as many copies as they like of texts and recordings from the CD for themselves, their colleagues and their pupils/students.
We now have a disk of specimen materials which potential users may borrow on approval. Please contact us if interested.
A reviewer writes:
'As a full-time classroom teacher, I find it is a great relief to have such relevant and up to date materials at my fingertips. There has never been so much choice!' (Paula Limbert, in Rusistika)

Tranzit. A Bridge to Advanced Russian Language Studies |
by Daphne West and Michael Ransome
2003 (second edition), 144 pages, illustrated.
The authors are very experienced and highly respected teachers of Russian in English schools, and they compiled Tranzit in answer to the problem experienced by all such teachers: how to provide suitable material for typically sixteen to seventeen-year-old school pupils working for the Advanced Level GCE examination in English and Welsh schools. [For non-English/Welsh visitors to the website, this examination is taken by students applying for entrance to universities at around the age of eighteen.]
The language material is specially selected to engage the interest of such young people, and to develop their ability to communicate freely in spoken or written Russian. Dr West and Dr Ransome assume that the language of the classroom will be Russian.
Tranzit is easier than Kompas (described below) and has proved very popular indeed as a 'bridge to advanced studies', as its sub-title claims. Since its appearance it has also been widely used in adult and further education classes.
