history, a vast territory and abundant
resources. It is equally a gathering

and history was just only be introduced a
few to Taiwanese students. Due to our
inadequate education of foreign histories,
students might lose their interests in

country doesn't provide many
opportunities for people who want to
learn Russian culture or language.
Although there are some universities

teaching materials are surely insufficient.
There are only few Russian picture story
books in Taiwan. Although we have
various English picture books, we still
lack of Russian picture books.
Nowadays, more and more teachers in

three universities that have the
Department of Russian Language. They
are National Cheng Chi University,
TamKang University, and Chinese

learning Russian language is not too

little about Russia might because

started to learn about foreign history
since junior high school. However, it
only contains very brief history about
language works. Besides, reading books

The purpose of this study is to provide
alternative approaches to help children
develop their language learning.
Moreover, book discussion can be
triggered into a deeper understanding of
the story in class and brainstorming.
Also, children can arouse their invisible

the teaching materials and learning

costumes, and other representative
products. Also, we refer some drawing
styles from some traditional Russian
story books. Not only the style of

Nowadays, most people put too much
colors. Russian books like to contain
abundant colorful colors in one item. For
example, we can see over five to ten

their traditional clothes, headscarves,
they contain bright and colorful colors.
Moreover, geometric figure is one
