Reviews

Language programs will find that the organization and resources of Panorama facilitate classroom instruction that is innovative and uniform, assuming a qualified instructor. From the viewpoint of adjunct faculty or part-time instructors, having instruction so well planned and instructional resources so readily available eases their task so that time and energy can be spent in the classroom and not split between planning and instruction. . . . [the author's] substantial work is a gift to our language teaching field. * American Council of Teachers of Russian Newsletter * Panorama is worth your consideration for its well-selected texts and superbly organized grammar coverage. * Slavic and East European Journal *
