Teaching Russian as a foreign language is now undergoing a rebirth. The grammatical approach that has dominated for many decades is inferior to the integrated teaching method. An integrated approach is more adapted to non-standard speech situations. A foreigner, trained by this method, will easily find what to answer, because he is accustomed to independently formulate his thoughts (cliched phrases in this approach are used minimally).

2

The advantage of the integrated approach is that speech recognition in this case is faster due to the fact that a person, while training a large amount of his speech apparatus, hears and feels himself as if he pronounces a spoken word, which means that he has more chances to translate it correctly. Also, his own conversational practice plays a big role here - perhaps he himself uses the heard constructions and easily recognizes them.

To teach a Russian language to a foreigner using an integrated teaching method, pay attention to typical difficulties. First of all, these are difficulties in interpreting the meaning of the word, caused by ambiguity and homonymy. Allow enough time for this aspect, explain to your students every difficult case.

4

There are also difficulties in recognizing a word by sound - this is the presence of words that differ in only one sound ([sub]] -). A foreigner does not immediately perceive this difference by ear.

5

The greatest difficulties for students of the Russian language arise in writing. A foreigner will not immediately be able to explain the principle of checking unstressed vowels at the root of the word (in many languages ​​this phenomenon is absent, and it is extremely difficult for students to recognize and verify this type of spelling). The system of case endings and its connection with the three declensions in the Russian language is the most difficult grammar complex for assimilation.

6

A foreigner studying the Russian language needs to learn a huge amount of theoretical and practical material. But if you constantly dictate and stimulate memorization of rules, vocabulary, syntactic constructions, then the student will have difficulties in the communicative sphere.

7

If you really want your student to be fluent in Russian, then use the following scheme for training: “Identification of patterns” - “Formulation of the rule” - “Deepening in theory” (depending on the level of training, visual aids can be used).
