The role of visual clarity in teaching foreign students Russian pronunciation
There are different points of view in determining the most effective methods and means of teaching the Russian language both in Russia and abroad. Some linguists believe that the audio-visual method is the only effective in teaching Russian as a foreign language, others prefer the so-called traditional method, the third - the direct method etc. To determine when, in what conditions to use one or the other method, in interaction with what methods it is possible to reach the goal, is the most important and most difficult thing. The use of visual aids gives a great training effect, but subject to certain conditions. Visual aids should be used not in isolation, but only in such a system, which, defining the place of each of the aid based on its specific properties, teaches students to understand and learn new material. The article discusses the role and place of visual aids in the learning process and the use of visual means of presentation in the formation of pronunciation skills of foreign students. The work of the formation of consonants and vowels of the Russian language at the initial stage of training of preparatory faculty students is given as an example. Special attention is paid to the use of means of visual clarity in relation to the articulatory structures of the Russian language.
