Laurin and all
I forgot to mention that I did check the research you have mentioned, and,
as I guessed, it was about teaching a non- Roman foreign language. (In this
case- you talked about Russian, hence a Cyrillic Alphabet was involved I
guess).
Here is the quote from Eric:
"The Use of Mnemonic Strategies in the Learning of Non Roman Foreign
Language Alphabets. (EJ526144(
Author(s): Gruneberg, Michael; Sykes, Robert

Abstract:
Examines whether mnemonic strategies can be successfully applied to the
learning of a non-Roman foreign-language alphabet. Students were given
materials presenting Russian letters and their English sounds on each page.
Beneath each letter was a mnemonic. Findings indicate that these strategies
enhance the learning speed of non-Roman foreign-language alphabets.
