THE AMERICAN STUDIES SERIES is an innovative approach to teaching English through the content of American Studies and cross-cultural topics.It combines the expertise of Russian and American scholars and teachers who, working together, provide learners with fresh, lively, creative, and relevant material to improve their English language
proficiency.The series focuses on developing communication skills - reading, writing, listening, and speaking - as well as a better understanding of one's own culture and other cultures. The series also provides ample opportunities to develop critical thinking skills and explore, compare, and contrast values and ideas.One of the most unique features of each textbook is the inclusion of multimedia materials, including mp3 sound files taken or adapted from the Voice of America Special English website and the U.S. Department of State E-journals.
