The method of using Russian feature films at studying Russian as a foreign language

The article suggests a method for using Russian feature films to form the communicative competence of foreign students studying Russian. The authors aim to show how the emotionally rich material of feature films, included in the educational process, creates positive motivation for students in mastering a foreign language, and Russian as a foreign language as well. Motivational activity contributes to the achievement of a high level of mastering the language studied. The results of the experimental study confirm the effectiveness of the proposed model of teaching. Complex work with the material of feature films contributes to the sociocultural and linguoculturological adaptation of foreigners in the Russian-speaking environment in various spheres of communication. The originality of the concept of teaching Russian as a foreign language, presented in the article, consists in the fact that it is proposed to use modern Russian films, including topics that are attractive in subject matter and general content for the youth student audience. The novelty of the linguo-didactic concept is that attention is focused on the development of the Russian phonetic culture of speech of an inophone on the basis of songs, creating moral, ethical and artistic potential of the film along with other factors. © Serials Publications.
