Unlocking Russian Pronunciation

The ten lessons of Unlocking Russian Pronunciation could be assigned over the course of a year or a single term; you may find that it works especially well in the second semester or quarter of multi-term language courses.  I've created a sample syllabus that you could modify or simply add hand out as-is: it is intended to complement syllabi in existing courses of various types and levels.  The sample syllabus makes it clear that students are responsible for studying, practicing, and checking all of their own work.  It also suggests some optional practice and assessment activities for you to conduct as the instructor, but the materials were designed to benefit students without any additional input from you.  You can learn more from the FAQ for Teachers on the General FAQ of this website.  If you think you might like to use Unlocking Russian Pronunciation in your course in the future but are not ready to adopt it, there are two things you could do.  You could attend one of the master classes I teach virtually for as an observer (no cost – simply register first!)  This would give you a chance to become familiar with the approach and see how it works in action if you want to actively teach the material yourself.  You could also consider passing the unlockingrussianpronunciation.org link along to your students.  They may be interested in the opportunity to engage in self-paced study of Russian phonetics and learn some wonderful Russian songs.  Perhaps if a few of them try it out, they could let you know how it worked for them!
