Abstract
Latin is the primary donor language to Russian. In this study, a vocabulary survey was conducted to propose the usefulness of frequently used Russian vocabulary of Latin origin and their English equivalents for learners of Russian. The Oxford 3000 was used as the primary reference for the 3,000 most frequently used English words, and the author investigated the frequency of their Russian equivalents. As a result, 411 loanwords of Latin origin were found to be included in the 3,000 most common Russian words. Therefore, the present study concluded that learning basic Russian vocabulary of Latin origin helps English speakers improve their Russian proficiency.
Highlights
When we started teaching case studies in Kazan State University, the teaching materials for more advanced students were still biased towards theoretical aspects of business and law
Students at the university have become more and more aware of the importance of English to their professional careers. They have come themselves to feel the necessity of developing their professional skills, and so have their teachers, who realise that the design of any curriculum has to be student-centred
Though the pattern of a ready made case study may be followed, it is tailor made for the class

Students at the university have become more and more aware of the importance of English to their professional careers They have come themselves to feel the necessity of developing their professional skills, and so have their teachers, who realise that the design of any curriculum has to be student-centred. It has to be determined primarily by the long-term needs of the students. Students graduating from the university have to be ready to go on to the stage in their lives, join the work force and function effectively in English Since they are going to be lawyers, managers, business people, executives and so on, they will need to use English effectively in their business transactions.
