Russian Teachers’ Day
Conway Hall, Holborn, London
Saturday 19th April 2008
10.00 - 16.30
Sponsored by Ruslan Limited
About 55 teachers attended this meeting. There were presentations by Tanya Filosofova
of Saint Andrews University, Elkhan Azimov of the Pushkin Institute, and John Langran.
Fiona Wright led discussions about the formation of a new Russian teachers association.
This new association will be a forum for teachers of Russian in all sectors, with regional
groups and national training events. There will be a website devoted to the work of the
association, with help for teachers on issues such as materials, exchanges and examinations.
Teachers who attended either the London or the Saint Andrews training day are automatically members
of the new assocaition, if they so wish. Other teachers will be able to join for an annual fee of £10,
which should be sent by cheque payable to "Russian Teachers Group", Fiona Wright, 40 Carnegie Road, Saint Albans, AL3 6HL
More details of the new association will be posted on this page when available.
