The article is devoted to one of the important problems of modern methods of teaching Russian as a foreign language: the development skills of foreign students using the resources of museum exposition. Modern methods of teaching Russian as a foreign language connect the effectiveness of learning with immersion into the language environment, the acquisition of linguistic and cultural competence and the competence of intercultural communication. However, there has been little discussion on the problem of using the resources of museum exposition in the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The implementation of educational programs using the museum exposition helps to increase the effectiveness of learning in the language environment, increase motivation to learn the language and enhance the educational interests of students. Classes in a museum, compiled in the context of the “dialogue of cultures”, make possible to take into consideration the cognitive and social aspect of the process of learning. In this case, museum pedagogy can be an effective means of developing the linguistic and cultural competence of students, as well as the competence of intercultural communication. Since the best perception occurs when there is a combination of visual and verbal information, the process of cognition, based on the received idea of a museum subject, increases the percentage of new facts learned. The study of the lexical theme by foreign students using the resources of museum exposition helps to understand the culture of the host country, the acquisition of an emotional attitude to cultural heritage.
