Abstract

The basis for learning a foreign language includes the methodical system which contains facilities, models and techniques of teaching. The aim of this paper is to examine the Communicative Method potential of teaching a foreign language (Russian in particular) and to analyze the work with Text in lessons in accordance with the principles of this method for example, forming linguistic competence in different types of activity: reading, listening, writing and conversation. The main task confronting a teacher, who works according to the Communicative Method, is to teach students to communicate in a foreign language. The author of this paper describes the Text as not only the structure of lexical and grammar constructions, but the whole situation including the connection of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors. Therefore it is expedient to teach a student not only to read, translate and retell a story, but also how to communicate in Russian correctly. For example, the student should learn different kinds of gestures, mimicry, intonation, lexical, and stylistic means in a concrete dialogue and genre of speech in which a spoken situation has developed. In this paper the writer analyses how to work with authentic text, educational text, speech structures, games, pre-text and post-text leaning exercises, and how to teach grammar according to the Communicative Method. Taking into account the language competence of a student, his/her interests and strategy in how to use the Russian language, the Communicative Method can be applied. Therefore this article gives information on how to organize lessons for groups with students that have different levels of knowledge in the Russian language. The textbook selection in this article has also been made on the basis of the Communicative Method.
