TEACHING TO READ LITERATURE FICTION IN RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: ACTIVITY BASED LEARNING APPROACH, READING AND DISCURSIVE PRACTICES
The article describes an experience of Russian literature teaching to foreign students with the activity based learning approach. Author's technology is based on familiarization with reading practices through "immersion" in contexts of Russian life. Methodological frameworks conduct to the introduction of various discursive practices in order to elaborate the material of selected works of modern writers (G. Oster, S. Altov, L. Ulitskaya, L. Petrushevskaya). Learning outcomes have a positive impact on the motivation for reading, contribute to the development of the reader competence. This is teaching from acting to thinking, from a situation to the context of modern life in Russia.
