Seems like they're using similar ideas to TEFL, which makes sense. All TEFL classes are English only, even beginners (adults at least. Very young kids here have a Russian-speaking assistant, although I have taught children as young as 5 without one and without using Russian in class at all).
My Russian classes have been the same in the past.
