Work With “Eralash” in the Exercise in Russian as a Foreign Language (Methodological Development)
One of the main tasks of teaching a foreign language is the formation of communicative competence. This concept was introduced by the american linguist D. Himes. He believed that language proficiency is not limited to knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar, but presupposes a clear idea of in what speech conditions certain words and grammatical constructions can or should be used. In the process of distance learning, the formation of communicative competence becomes much more difficult and requires the search for new teaching aids. A similar tool is the «Yeralash» film magazine. Short authentic stories are understandable sometimes even without words. On their basis, it is easy to introduce new and repeat the already learned vocabulary and phraseology of various thematic groups, to study grammar. In addition, the plots of the magazine allow you to analyze a specific speech situation (for example, a dialogue in a lesson, a conversation on the phone, a conversation between friends): to determine the topic of communication, the communicative intention of the addressee and the addressee; evaluate the appropriate language tools. And then build your own statement: formulate the main idea of the plot, express your opinion, substantiate it, etc. This thought is not completely new. However, the study of literature, methodological publications (Kazakova Yu. V., Kashpireva T.B., Kigel Tali, Solovyova T.A., Khramchenko T.A.) made it possible to conclude that there are not so many such studies. At the same time, there is a lack of developments specifically for the initial stage of studying RFL on specific topics of "Yeralash", and not general reflections and conclusions about the use of issues of this journal as methodological material. This article attempts to partially fill this gap.
