Abstract

The present paper is an attempt to analyze the intermediary role of Russian while teaching English in a content-based language classroom. Special attention is paid to grammatical, syntactic, and semantic similarities and differences as well as to the use of cognates which impact language performance and may at times cause ambiguities. The paper also addresses some issues of the interconnectedness of language and culture in the contemporary world.
