The specialized language school in the Soviet Union at the time of ‘perestroika’

Bruce Monk

English language liektor at Moscow University between 1980 and 1984, and has worked at the Executive Department of International House, London. He has published in a number of Journals, and wrote the chapter on Russian speakers in Learner English (Swan and Smith (eds.), CUP, 1987). He has degrees in Applied Linguistics, and is completing a PhD on Soviet language teaching methodology. He is now working at Moscow State University.

The article looks at what are variously termed ‘special’ or ‘specialized’ foreign language schools in the Soviet Union and gives a brief account of some of the similarities and differences that exist between these schools and the ordinary general education schools. It also looks at certain developments that are taking place in the organization of English language teaching in schools in the Russian Federation at the present time.
