My Topic Encyclopedia for English oral examinations is fundamentally different from previously published similar materials.

It serves as a valuable source of both useful information and linguistic knowledge for senior high school students as well as for first- and second-year university students.

The manual is divided into 35 thematic units, each of which includes not only core texts but also engaging materials of educational value. Glossaries with transliterations and translations in Armenian and Russian accompany the texts. Transliterations are also provided for proper nouns and geographical names that may pose pronunciation difficulties.

The questions at the end of each unit’s sections help learners not only review the material they have already studied but also analyze and summarize related topics through their own interpretations. This is further supported by the consistently repeated, expanded, and enriched vocabulary presented across the thematic units.
