When one see somebody speaking a foreignlanguage, it sounds very natural and easy, and people suppose that they can also master thisskill easily. Moreover, this is an incorrect understanding of the market economy in whichRussia is entering where people think that, if they pay for a service, they should get it. In thecase of learning a foreign language, people expect that a language can be ‘inserted’ into theirminds for the money that they pay.

The authors of this paper have also used five criteria, presented by Thomas13 toidentify and define project-based learning in this paper: • PBL projects are central, not peripheral to the curriculum. • PBL projects are focused on questions or problems that "drive" students to encounter (and struggle with) the central concepts and principles of a discipline

Students feltthat lack of exposure creates distinct obstacles for Native American students that non-minoritystudents do not encounter. One student responded: “I have to say the resources available toNative Americans in reservations right now are
