Title: A Quantum Leap Backward!
Review: Difficult to give material that features such incredibly artificial language as: "Where is the book?" "The book is on the table." (not kidding) any more than one star. This course contains stilted dialogues typical of older textbooks, heavy with overly formal greetings and pointless questions and answers: "Where is the Kazakh teacher?" "He's in the library." "Goodbye."Doesn't U. Arizona review the material they produce? How can so much money and technological expertise be invested in something that is fundamentally so backward? Were any native Kazakhs consulted for authenticity? Were any learners on location consulted as to the usefulness of this material?This is essentially just your traditional OUTDATED grammar course in CD format.
