DISCURSIVE COMPONENT IN FORMING BILINGUAL PERSONALITY

Abstract

Teaching Russian as a foreign language is based on the psycholinguistic concept of activity, which meets the target focus on education and the desire of students to reach the level of bilingual personality. This article is devoted to the urgent problem of the development of discursive competence in educational activity, “immersing” students in a stream of live and personally meaningful communication. The main focus is on educational discourse, which is initiated by the teacher and unfolds as vociferous polilog where every judgment is important and interesting. Thus, shifting the emphasis from classroom mining lexical and grammatical material onto personally interested communicating with this material. With this approach, much of the work on the development of language competence is performed during extracurricular time with the help of specially designed computer software.
