Abstract
This paper reports on the potential for introducing alternative perspectives in undergraduate geography courses that focus on world regions by having students read and discuss simple texts illustrating geographic themes that have been drawn from primary sources published in a language used in the region. Possibilities for incorporating foreign-language instruction into the regional geography course are discussed through specific examples of syllabus design, text selection, class activities and evaluations for Geography 253 (Russia and Eastern Europe) taught during the Fall Semester, 1995 and 1997, at the University of Connecticut.
