Rki courses without philological education. Russian language teaching methodology courses. Currently, training at the Institute is conducted in several areas.

Small children!

No way
Don't go to Africa
Walk to Africa!
Sharks in Africa
In Africa gorillas
In Africa, large
Angry crocodiles
They will bite you
To beat and offend, -
Don't go kids
Walk to Africa.

Barmaley. K. Chukovsky

These lines just asked for a prologue to the post about my training in distance courses in Russian as a foreign language at Moscow State University. Only, instead of children, you have to substitute “good people”, and instead of crocodiles, sharks and gorillas - furious books on teaching methods.

What is it about:

Moscow State University offers distance learning courses in Russian as a foreign language. The site states that at the end of the course, you will become just a god almighty cool teacher of the Russian language for foreigners, and there will be no difficulties and unknown moments for you in this area of ​​knowledge.

You are given access to the electronic library of Moscow State University, where you can download all those materials that are recommended for the successful delivery of work.

Also, at any time you can contact your coordinator, ask him questions of interest and get an answer.

What do you get in the end:

You get questions like “What is reading as a speech activity? What types of reading do you know? What is the purpose of teaching reading? " (also about writing, listening and speaking), “What determines the selection and sequencing of grammatical material?”, “Describe the features of monologue and dialogical speech,” and other similar nonsense.

And what does the Russian language have to do with it, you ask. All the months of training, the same question never left me!

To answer these and other equally interesting, and most importantly, useful questions in teaching the RUSSIAN LANGUAGE, you, as I already said, can download at least the entire library. Just keep in mind that the books there are such that only highbrow Methodists like the ones who wrote them can get through them.

My claims:

This course did not meet my expectations at all. I specially allocated myself three summer months and signed up for this course (at Moscow State University, I note, not somewhere in a sharashkin office, but at Moscow State University!) so that they could tell me about the RUSSIAN LANGUAGE, its system, and how it functions.

Needless to say, what I only learned about the language itself is that animate and inanimate words are inclined differently!

I read it!

I gave 22 thousand. What did I get? - Access to a library of books that I will never read or use. And also a crust stating that now I am a real teacher of Russian as a foreign language. As gnarled as these pencils

Many foreign citizens invariably face the problem of misunderstanding of speech when they come to Moscow to study, work or simply live for a long period of time. The Russian language can easily scare you with its complexity, the abundance of all sorts of nuances and features that even native speakers cannot always cope with. But don't worry, as teaching Russian as a foreign language is offered by many language schools and centers in Moscow. The students are offered the experience and professionalism of highly qualified teachers who will help them quickly master the most important topics.

Our portal contains the most relevant and helpful information about courses of Russian as a foreign language in Moscow: phone numbers and addresses of schools, the cost of the proposed programs, reviews of students who have already completed or completed their studies.

How to choose Russian language courses for foreigners?

Well-chosen activities will help you quickly learn to speak Russian on basic topics. The Russian language for foreign citizens may seem very difficult, so the teacher's approach and his choice of textbook are very important. Ideally, all materials should be presented in an easy and interesting way, thanks to which they are better absorbed and remembered. The presence of practical classes on the development and improvement of the skills of understanding speaking and working out their own knowledge will be a big plus for the courses. In the learning process, teachers can use music, films and books in Russian, which will allow them to more fully immerse themselves in the culture of the country and cover a variety of aspects of its life.

The basic course of the Russian language for foreign students, migrants and other students involves mastering the most relevant topics for communication, studying the basics of grammar and vocabulary. The use of a communicative teaching methodology allows teachers to quickly provide students with the basic skills necessary for communication. Studying Russian as a foreign language in groups, students quickly overcome the language barrier, correct existing mistakes in speech.

During the study of the initial course of the Russian language, students go through the basics of grammar, special phonetic and conversational programs. Working through the acquired knowledge in the process of communicating with the teacher, and playing out in a group situations from Everyday life they quickly develop language skills.

An intensive course of the Russian language, focused on the fastest mastering of the information that is most painful from a practical point of view, will also be useful. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to communicate on topics necessary in real life... Such an express course of the Russian language does not take much time, but it allows you to find a common language with the residents of the city immediately after its completion.

Features of teaching Russian as a foreign language

Training can only be carried out by qualified teachers who know how to properly present the features of the Russian language to foreigners. When choosing language school you can ask about the availability of scientific publications from teachers, their diplomas for achievements in the professional field, and, of course, study the reviews left by their students on our portal about the courses they have already taken.

For comfortable stay in the country, it is advisable for foreigners to master the basic levels:

  • General conversational course A1 - upon completion, students know the basic grammatical constructions of the Russian language and are able to clearly, albeit simply, express their thoughts. All the main topics are worked out in communication with the rest of the audience.
  • General conversational course A2 - more deeply systematizes the existing knowledge, filling in possible gaps. After completing the course, students use grammatical constructions correctly, building sentences with almost no mistakes.

This allows you to immerse yourself in the language environment to a sufficient level in order to continue independent improvement of existing knowledge.
