On text typology in Russian as a foreign language

Abstract

Systematic work on the text, when working with international students, contributes to the formation of their communicative and aspect speech skills. It is one of the conditions for regular language practice, which helps foreign language listeners to orient themselves in another country. The article discusses the comprehensive teaching of foreign students to work on a monologue. Since monologues differ in content and design, the purpose of our research is to study a typology of texts and ways of working with monologue utterances in the process of teaching Russian to students of the pre-university level. The article considers the types of monologues, the thematic scope of their use and the communicative component of the texts, we prove that the development of monologue speech skills should be combined with lexical and grammatical activities in almost every lesson of the Russian language, starting with the elementary stage. The conducted research confirms the idea that reasoning on scientific topics requires more attention. Effective and systematic work on a monologue statement contributes to the international students’ ability both to retell what they have read and to express their thoughts. It develops the student’s logic through answering questions, composing dialogues and solving new situational tasks.
