DOI: 10.23951/1609-624X-2025-6-156-164
This article summarizes effective methods of teaching this type of Russian speech acquisition to foreign listeners, in particular Africans, based on the principles of teaching listening and practical teaching experience. The purpose of this study is to consider interactive methods in the listening process and modify language skills and techniques. To achieve the set goal, the following research methods were used: observation, statistical methods of processing the results, comparison, generalization of the practical experience of teaching Russian to foreign students. The study of the process of teaching listening can be carried out using content analysis and methodological, psychological, linguistic and psycholinguistic analysis of literature; empirical research methods (observation, comparison, experiment); quantitative and qualitative methods of data processing; theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization, forecasting, formulating hypotheses); practical methods (description, questionnaires, surveys, modeling of materials). Research results: an important principle of teaching listening is to provide foreigners with understandable information. The purpose of teaching listening is to improve the micro-skills of listening in foreign citizens, in our case, in African students. Interactive listening methods include word training, which includes repetition after listening, listening and explanation of words, word association, sequential pronunciation of numbers, pronunciation of dissimilar words and identification of an extra word, as well as sentence training, which is a replacement of the sentence structure, answers to questions, rewriting sentences in accordance with the requirements. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that the adaptation of the presented methods in teaching Russian as a foreign language can improve the effectiveness of listening to spoken Russian. We believe that teaching listening is still very superficial and requires constant study and refinement, testing of new methods and use of additional tools, exchange of experience with other colleagues.
Keywords: listening classes, principles of teaching listening, Russian as a foreign language, Africans
