Interview Survey

The article deals with one of the problems of contemporary didactics and methodology - lack of reading interests of both foreign students and the majority of Russian pupils. The article presents an attempt to explain a number of reasons that led to the decrease of interest in reading in general. Special attention is given to the fact that implementation of EU competences related to the life in a multicultural society is often associated with the process of reading literature in other languages. It is emphasized that the attitude towards reading among foreign students and Russian schoolchildren is significantly different, which is associated with the level of language proficiency. The leading methods in the study were the following: analysis of scientific and bibliographic literature on the topic; direct practical, so-called “field” methods: questioning; monitoring students and teenage pupils who come to the library; data analysis of the library in the institute and at school; mathematical methods of processing the results. The article presents the conclusions made on the acute problem discussed, which are based on the results of the respondents’ interview survey (15 questions in the questionnaire in total) and direct teaching of the Russian language and literature. The article concludes that foreign students often do not distinguish Russian authors from other foreign writers and poets. A number of specific measures are suggested to draw students’ interest to language, literature and reading. It is pointed out that children’s short moralizing stories should be recommended to foreign students for reading, they can arouse interest in the art of using words, provide linguistic and cultural knowledge and skills

Guidelines And Recommendations

The current paper discusses possibilities for school students to successfully pass TORFL-I/B1, TORFL-II/B2 and TORFL-III/C1. The relevance of this article is determined by the fact that despite Russian as a foreign (second) language has been taught within the framework of the TORFL system for more than two decades, there is a shortage of methodological material aimed at preparing school students for TORFL. In addition, the issue of choosing the level of testing in accordance with the level of Russian language proficiency and taking into account age specifics is not sufficiently covered in Russian academic literature. The aim of this paper is to define age reference marks for school students who plan to pass TORFL. The materials to review and analyse were the works of Russian and foreign researchers in the field of foreign (second) language proficiency, language development of children and adolescents, assessment of school students communicative competence, language assessment, and correlation of these data with the requirements for completing tasks of the TORFL-I/B1, TORFL-II/B2, TORFL-III/C1 Writing subtests selected as an example. The paper has resulted in providing recommendations on the choice of examination level for senior and junior school students, within the framework of TORFL-I/B1, TORFL-II/B2, TORFL-III/C1, which can also be used in the development of training courses in Russian as a foreign language for schools. The authors concluded that there is need to develop a new methodological area in testing of Russian as a foreign language system capable to provide guidelines and recommendations for preparing school students for examinations, and designing TORFL training courses and teaching materials according to the school students age.

This paper reviews an up-to-date problem of organization of lexical-semantic studies at the elementary school. Existing traditional approaches are unfortunately within the framework of the Russian language teaching methodology, and thus do not create a language and cultural area that provides successful acquirement of knowledge and communication goals. The school practice shows that one of the main reasons, which negatively influence the quality of production, perception and understanding of texts by students, is the agnonymy which has a direct correlation with periphery layers of the vocabulary. Agnonyms mainly include archaisms, historisms, obsolete words, scientific terms as well as words and phrases which are rarely or never used by a child in everyday life. Such words being met in various school-books make it difficult for the students to perceive and produce the texts. This paper provides types of tasks which let a teacher choose certain didactic materials (in accordance with school-books of educational-methodical complex) based on students agnomic risk zones vocabulary that will be defined. This will facilitate to broaden school students outlook, their language and cultural communication.

Introduction. In the process of bilingual education, schoolchildren must not only qualitatively master the content of the subject but also overcome language difficulties. There is a connection between speech and mathematical activities. The essence and structure of bilingual mathematical competence are based on this relationship, allowing bilingual students to effectively acquire knowledge in the conditions of national-Russian bilingualism. We have also proposed ways of forming bilingual mathematical competence focused on developing mathematical speech culture and teaching schoolchildren to use multicultural knowledge. Aim. The article aims to characterize the pedagogical conditions directed at the emergence of bilingual mathematical competence among basic school students (grades 5 to 9) within national-Russian bilingualism. Material and methods. The study relies on theoretical methods of comparative analysis, synthesis, and generalization provided by the scientific and methodological literature on the researched topic. Results and discussion. Works indicating a clear relationship between the language of instruction and the subject of Mathematics were analyzed. The need to take into account the mother tongue of schoolchildren in bilingual education was established. In addition, it was found that the degree of native and Russian language proficiency affects the mathematics achievement of bilingual students. According to the analysis, bilingual education should lead to the emergence of competencies distinguished by a high level of language proficiency and high-quality mastering of the subject. Conclusion. The concept of “bilingual mathematical competence” got a detailed description in the course of the research. This concept combines components of a school subject, languages ( native and Russian), and a component of intercultural communication. The following pedagogical components were described: 1) tasks aimed at mastering terminology, symbols, and graphic images; verbal and logical constructions of the mathematical language; written educational texts; 2) illustrated Yakut-Russian, Russian-Yakut terminological dictionary in mathematics for the 5th and 6th grades, which includes 349 terms and set phrases; 3) bilingual strategies aimed at reducing the linguistic complexity of mathematical problems (by replacing unfamiliar or rare words; changing the passive voice to active verb forms; reducing long names and indications; highlighting individual conditional sentences, or changing the order of the conditional and main sentences; replacing complex questions to simple ones; clarification of abstractions using more specific information); 4) methods and techniques of bilingual teaching of mathematics (consecutive translation, visual aids, immersion teaching, semantization); 5) tasks that contain historical, ethnocultural, and local history materials.

The paper covers a range of issues related to the specifics of Russian language mastering by Indian students studying in English and Russian. The research is based on an integrative methodological platform that combines approaches to multilingualism formation from the standpoint of psychological linguistics, cognitive linguistics, the theory of language contacts, discourse and communication science. The research involves the techniques of psychological and semantic analyses and verbal associations, the methods of contextual analysis and comparison. The material of the paper is the data obtained from online surveys of Indian students who have been studying at universities in North Ossetia-Alania for six years (elementary and pre-intermediate levels of Russian language proficiency). The study is aimed at identifying perception channels that represent the features of foreign students cognitive style in the Russian natural environment, descripting level-by-level interfering influence of native languages and weak interference of English. Based on text fragments and lexical units, vectors and methods of interlingual interference were demonstrated, its leading types were determined, that are phonetic, phonemic, graphemic, phonemic-graphemic, morphological and lexical. The role of English as a communicative mediator is defined. The analysis done confirmed complex application of auditory, visual and kinesthetic channels at the information input, and revealed the dominance of the auditory perception channel at the information output while learning the Russian language by Indian students. The Indian students cognitive style tends to be simplified through contamination of written and oral speech, compression, abbreviations usage, intensification of associative and semantic links. Strategies for using Internet translation, imitation of mastering the Russian language, literal translation from English into Russian, strategies for the implementation of graphic, phonetic-graphic principles of writing, phonemic and grammatical reduction were identified as the basic communication strategies of Indian students learning Russian.

The article examines the problem of foreign high school students living in the territory of the Russian Federation, a stable system of axiological norms and spiritual and moral guidelines of Russian society, the inviolability and correctness of which is proven by centuries-old experience, which captured the best examples of science and art. The need for foreign learners to study works of educational nature is substantiated. The process of understanding Russian culture by foreign students is analyzed as an important part of the educational process, including the study of the rules of communication in a non-native language, as well as the development of communicative competencies focused on the complex and multi-level development of the Russian language. The problem of conformity of artistic texts designed for studying foreign learners, the functions of the best examples of classical literature, is actualized. Understanding the cultural component of education is seen as a way of incorporating foreign citizens into the moral foundations of Russian society, built on the principles of humanism. It is stated that the presence of a role model for the emerging person, that can also be a character of the work as well, that meets the requirements of the best representatives of Russian society to a strong, strong-willed, educated, humane, selfless love for the Fatherland of the personality. The emergence of diverse personalities of foreign high school students is analyzed in the direction of not only education, but also a better understanding of the peculiarities of the Russian language, as well as the cultural identity of Russia by introducing the best examples of art texts. The methodological basis of the work was formed as a result of the complex use of techniques of dialectic, synergies, historical and literary method, content analysis of scientific and literary sources.

State Language

In the Russian Federation, as a multinational country, bilingualism is widespread: the process of learning the state language (Russian language) and national language (Bashkir, Yakut, Buryat, etc.) is programmed, vital and natural. We see the problem in that the national languages of the indigenous peoples of Russia are studied from the perspective of patriotic upbringing and education, while the Russian language is presented to Russian-speaking children more as the offi-cial state language of our country and, to a lesser extent, as their native language. When studying the Russian language, either its undoubted rich history and culture is leveled out, or a small and unsystematic amount of national values associated with the Russian language is provided to stu-dents. Underestimation of the axiological, communicative and culturological approach to the study of Russian as a native language we consider an urgent problem of contemporary education. In primary school these approaches are of particular importance. We consider the issues of studying the Russian language as a state language, as a native and as a foreign one. We put forward the idea of integrating approaches to the Russian language study, the leading role of speech training of school students. In this regard, we conduct a detailed analysis of textbooks on the Russian language for grades 1–4 and a comparative analysis of Soviet and Russian textbooks. We pay attention to foreign experience, the study of Russian as a foreign language, and textbooks on the Russian language for foreign students. We connect the conclusions about the formation of the value attitude of younger school students to the Russian language both with the educational material content and with the form of its presentation to children.

This work is devoted to the use of gaming technology in teaching Russian as a foreign language to Chinese undergraduates, at the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov at the faculty of teacher education. A typology of educational games is given. The crucial role of overcoming the language barrier in the socialization of Chinese students in Russia is emphasized. The contribution of the sociological “theory of roles” to training using game technologies is considered, and the relationship of the individual with the environment that surrounds her is shown, and how this connection is realized in the performance of various social roles. The games that we use when teaching at various levels of Russian language proficiency for the study and development of lexical and grammatical material are presented. The positive and negative aspects of the use of games in the training of foreign students are analyzed. It is concluded that the use of gaming technologies in teaching Russian as a foreign language is also an exercise for a more active form of adaptation to other new cultural life models, to mastering skills in interpersonal communication in the context of another cultural matrix, recorded primarily in the language. During the game, there is an increase in motivation for learning, interest in studying the subject is growing, activity in learning is increasing, and as a result, the level of language proficiency improves.

The present article touches upon the problems of adaptation of foreign students in the multicultural region of Russia - the Astrakhan oblast. The article outlines the main methodological ways of solving them in the framework of education by updating the linguo-regional knowledge aspect of the structure of the teaching methodology of Russian as a foreign language (RFL), and gives descriptions of methodological models for the implementation of linguocultural adaptation of foreign students in the process of educational activities of the university based on the linguoregional specifics of the region. This work reveals the significance of the regional component of the RFL methodology aimed at forming communicative skills and abilities of students, in order to intensify the adaptation process. The authors present the features of country-specific and linguo-regional studies carried out in classroom and extracurricular time at the Department of Russian Language of Astrakhan State Medical University. The authors of the article associate the effectiveness of the adaptation process and acculturation of foreign students with the actualization of the linguo-regional knowledge aspect of the structure of the RFL methodology, which contributes to the formation of internal motivation for learning the Russian language and getting acquainted with Russia, to the removal of psychological communication barriers and to the development of communication skills. This work suggest using the principles of consistency and concentrism in the formation of countryspecific and regional knowledge, ensuring the reliability of visual information, and taking into account the native culture of foreign students with semantisation of words with a cultural component.
