The present project is a research-based and practice-tested online synchronous curriculum for English language learners with the Russian language mother tongue. The curriculum's theoretical component is grounded in Vygotsky's, Leont'ev', and Engestrom's "Cultural Historical Activity Theory" as well as in scholarly papers on the influence of non-educational and educational and linguistic factors on the English language teaching in Russia. As for the practical component, the designer examined the roots of the most common mistakes by the English language learners from Russia and purposed the curriculum objectives at eliminating the main errors in reading, writing, speaking and grammar skills and at mastering the pronunciation of the most difficult combinations of consonants for the Russian language speakers. The curriculum was designed for an eight-week program with a frequency of three hours teaching per week and with a total of 48 hours of instruction. The students in the program are recommended at the B-2 - Upper-Intermediate - level of the English language proficiency. All lessons materials were developed to be taught in a PowerPoint presentation format via Zoom or other e-teaching platforms. However, the universal design of the curriculum allows EL instructors to modify the curriculum for face-to-face teaching formats depending on the availability of a computer and materials thereof.
