To the issue of training foreign listeners in basic audio-lingual skills of the Russian language
An integral part of the work on the formation of the linguistic competence of students in the discipline "Russian as a foreign language" is the study of the phonetic foundations and intonation of the modern Russian language. At the same time, speech-pronunciation skills become the basis for the subsequent or simultaneous formation and improvement of competencies in all types of speech activity in the target language. Departures from the normative pronunciation of sounds can significantly complicate communication. Consequently, one of the primary areas of study in the discipline "Russian as a foreign language" should be the formation of phonetic skills. Work on the formulation and correction of the pronunciation of the target language should not be limited to the first or even the second semester: the improvement of speech-pronunciation (phonetic-phonological) skills should continue throughout the entire period of studying the Russian language. One of the most important conditions for the successful implementation of any teacher's efforts in the formation, development and consolidation of speech and foreign language skills, in particular at the speech-pronunciation level, is the systematic motivated independent work of foreign students in the direction indicated by the teacher.
