DIDACTICS ENVIRONMENT AS A METHOD OF PROMOTING MOTIVATION

The article is devoted to the issue of creating a special educational and linguistic environment as a way of enchanting the motivation of linguistic students (using the example of teaching Italian as the second specialty in the Linguistic department of Foreign languages Institute RUDN). The article discusses the difficulties arising in the process of learning and particularities of teaching Italian as a second foreign language (FL), such as psychological and culturological differences between the students' native language and the Italian language; support and encouragement of motivation; overcoming the psychological barrier that impedes free communication and the knowledge of foreign culture. Based on the scientific literature analysis an attempt to interpret difficulties was made and it was suggested some options for overcoming them on bases of Russian and Italian methodological schools. The idea of creating a special educational language environment, combining classroom activities with extracurricular work and inclusive education as well as acting as a stimulating, teaching and controlling factor in the process of learning a foreign language is very important. The necessary condition for the solution of the task is the intensification of the exchange program between the RUDN University and the Universities of Italy, the presence and participation of native speakers, intern-students in the learning process in order to stimulate real communication, collaboration with the Italian Institute of Culture; Dante Olligieri Society; creating artificial environment as a metaphor for the "loss" of one's own national identity. According to the results of the experiment a conclusion is drawn on the effectiveness and feasibility of proposed methodological techniques that contribute to the successful mastering of a foreign language and directly affect the formation and development of key competencies for this process.
