‘The Story Provocation: for learners of the Russian language (yes, yes, and for you too!)’ - “Rasskaz-provokatsiya” in Russian – is Ignaty Dyakov’s second unconventional language textbook.

It follows the continuing story of George, a Guadeloupian banker embarking on a journey that sees his day to day life set against a series of crimes and provocations.

Author Ignaty Dyakov, is a serial entrepreneur and professional Russian language teacherHe was inspired to write a series of stories that would teach useful vocabulary and grammar after some of his business clients complained that existing text-books were boring and had no relation to real life.

So both his textbooks are fascinating detective stories with characters from different cultural backgrounds meeting in Guadeloupe and EuropeThey live, love, work and relax. And most importantly they fight the world''s evil and show exceptional ethics both in life and their work.

Mr Dyakov said: “The story is completely fictional, with fictional characters and scenery, full of sarcasm and jokes with a mockery of stereotypesI wrote it as an aid to making the Russian language study process a little bit more bearable for adult learners”.

This is an innovative and unusual textbook technique and has already received much acclaim from eminent Russian specialists.

“Undoubtedly, this textbook makes language learning more fun, interesting and thus less challengingIt can be recommended as an addition to any Russian language textbook for A1-B1 levels - your students will definitely succeed and progress in Russian language learning!” says Professor Galina Levina, vice-provost of The Pushkin State Russian Language Institute.

The book has been tested on Ignaty''s students who confirm that the story line keeps them intrigued and motivated to read moreThis technique helps develop their language skills, and makes the learning process more bearable, if not enjoyable.
