MAIN PRINCIPLE OF STUDYING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: USING PATTERNS FOR SPEECH MODELING

Abstract

The article is devoted to the innovative method in the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language. Modern teachers actively use the patterning method to improve the communication skills of their students. With the help of ready-made sample sentences, it becomes possible for foreigners to communicate with native speakers, models help to formulate an idea and ask a question of interest. Patterns allow students from the first days of learning Russian as a foreign language to put into practice the acquired knowledge: talk about themselves or ask a Russian-speaking interlocutor about something. Since the Russian language is recognized as one of the most difficult for foreigners to learn, patterning allows them to master its grammar much faster. The authors also reveal the pros and cons of foreign students using patterns in the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language.
