Национально-ориентированная лексикография и обучение русскому как иностранному

Abstract

The article presents the description and comprehension of the experience of developments in the field of linguistic and regional studies and nationally oriented educational lexicography. The latter is based on the ideas of nationally oriented education and associated with the creation of a linguo-cultural dictionary for citizens of Vietnam who study Russian as a foreign language. Today’s reality is considered to be largely aimed at purely applied aspects of knowledge, including in teaching foreign languages and, in particular, Russian as a foreign language (RFL). In this regard, dictionaries are becoming very significant, among which a special place belongs to the so-called “linguo-cultural dictionary”, which has a relatively recent history of use. Information obtained with the help of such lexicographic sources contributed and contributes to students’ deeper understanding of Russian in real situations. But, since a foreigner “in general” does not exist in nature, the so-called “nationally oriented education”, learning with regard to the national culture of the addressee, becomes more and more relevant. Nationally oriented education implies optimizing the teaching of a specific foreigner the ability to communicate primarily with a native representative of the Russian language and culture, i.e. teaching Russian not just as a foreign language, but as a means of intercultural communication. In this regard, a group of employees of the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, the authors of this article, together with foreign partners, began to create a concept for a linguo-cultural learner’s dictionary of the so-called “active” type, intended for the Vietnamese audience. This dictionary, as conceived by the developers of the concept, will be focused mainly on a nonphilological audience that will be able to use the relevant information in communication with Russian-speaking partners in business, joint production, etc. As an example, against the background of the Vietnamese linguistic culture, the concept “family” is considered. This concept is part of the basic system of values of the native representatives of the Russian language and culture and in the future nationally oriented linguo-cultural dictionary intended for the Vietnamese audience. The authors declare no conflicts of interests.
