Description
In this activity each paragraph of the Russian tale “The enormous turnip” is written in a different language (English, French, Latin or Russian). The comprehension is supported by illustrations. The learner is asked to identify and mark the same words in different languages to find out some differences and similarities.
In a second step, the learner is requested to find equivalents of Russian words within some other Slavic languages (Czech, Polish and Slovenian). It is advisable to enrich the reflexive dimension of the tasks by inviting the students to justify / explain their proposals.
