The evolution of linguistic guess while teaching Chinese students reading in Russian

The focus of the paper is an intensive training of Chinese students to read texts in Russian with the help of linguistic guess. The material for the study is based on the specially designed and tested (during 2012-2014) tutorial "Famous Russian names. XXI Century. (Bolshakova and Nizkoshapkina 2012; Bolshakova and Nizkoshapkina 2014). The tutorial is accompanied by the educational website https://sites.google.com/site/imenarossii3 (Nizkoshapkina 2014a; Nizkoshapkina 2014b). The website makes it possible for Chinese students to develop phonetic, listening comprehension and communication skills, as well as the skills of independent work with a text, using a linguistic guess. © 2018.
