How to teach foreigners the Russian language

The Russian language is rightfully considered the most complex, but also the most beautiful, rich and sonorous language in the world. Despite the difficulty in learning the language, every year the number of people who want to learn how to speak and write competently in Russian becomes more and more.

Instruction manual

one

Start teaching Russian in an individual format. For successful teaching, you must speak two languages: native to your foreign student and Russian. Then the learning process will be enjoyable and productive. After 1-2 months, you can transfer training to a group form. Classes need to be conducted 3-4 times a week and combine theoretical hours and practice on them. The duration of the course is from 120 to 160 hours.

2

Build the learning process, taking into account three principles: communication (learn to communicate in Russian), systematic (learning Russian as an integrated, interconnected system of all language units) and functionality (the ability to apply knowledge in practice).

3

Start teaching Russian with the alphabet. This is a classic language learning method. After the student remembers all the letters, start learning to read. In parallel, replenish your student's vocabulary with new Russian words. At the initial stage, putting up colored pieces of paper with words throughout the apartment helps a lot. When one stares at these pieces of paper, the student will involuntarily read and remember them.

4

Include the following sections in your training: phonetics, vocabulary, grammar, and speech development. At all stages of training, conduct classes in each section, and spend half of the entire time on the development of speech.

5

Explain to the foreign student that there are polysemantic words in the Russian language. Use the emotional-semantic method. That is, teach the Russian language not as a set of grammatical rules, but form the perception of the language as a means of communication and in a specific context. This will help to better understand Russian speech, to make it richer and more colorful.

6

Use a special program for studying the grammatical rules of the Russian language. For example, the topic "Types of the verb". In the school textbook they teach to determine the type of verb on the questions: what to do? what to do? And in the textbook for foreigners, the presentation of the topic material is not constructed in the same way as in the book for Russian schoolchildren. It gives a detailed list of the many rules for using perfect and imperfect verbs.

7

Speak with your students in Russian only. The constant sound of the language being studied contributes to learning. Use their native language only in extreme cases when you need to explain something.

Watch Russian TV shows, films with a foreign student, listen to music - “surround” them with Russian speech. Immersion in the atmosphere of the language being studied, the study of traditions, the culture of the native speakers of the language being studied contributes to a better and faster learning. Arrange "conversation clubs" with native Russian speakers. The "immersion" method is perhaps the most popular and effective method of mastering any foreign language.
