Integrative Approach To Teaching Russian In A Multicultural Audience

Abstract

The article touches upon the issues of the formation of speech activity skills in a multicultural audience with regard to the integrative approach to teaching the Russian language. Practice shows that in the Russian language classes, working with a text is usually done on a fragmentary basis, which leads to an imbalance in the formation of linguistic and communicative competences. Linguistic competence, involving the formation of lexical and grammatical speech skills, is a key to the development of expressive and receptive types of speech activity. The authors propose that fragmentation in speech activities formation be overcome by implementing the technology of the artistic text resource analysis, which involves systematic step-by-step work with a Russian artistic text in the multilingual audience, to achieve a multiple educational effect. As a result, students develop the ability of true understanding, they begin to think critically, to comprehend the logical sequence of the text parts, to consider the context, to express their opinion about what they’ve read, justifying their point of view.
