Reproductive method in teaching Russian to foreign students and its innovative aspects
Abstract
The reproductive method in the system of teaching Russian as a foreign language is aimed at reproducing the ways of activity by foreign students according to the algorithms presented by the teacher, at enriching them with knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as at forming the main mental operations: abstraction, analysis, synthesis, generalization, and others. When learning the «language of the profession», the main mental operations are formed: abstraction, analysis, synthesis, generalization, and others. The reproductive method, having the basis of algorithmization, integrated with the cognitive theory of learning, has reached a new level – the reproductivecognitive method. System analysis in combination with algorithmization becomes the basis of the reproductive and creative method. The methods outlined in the article enrich the knowledge, skills and abilities of students, which are most often carried out at the stages of correction, diagnosis and consolidation of knowledge, but do not guarantee the development of creative abilities, do not allow them to be systematically and purposefully formed. In particular, the concept of the reproductive-creative method is the principle of communicative orientation, which formed the basis of competence-based learning. In competence-based learning, the activity component, unlike other possible approaches, is considered from the viewpoint of competence, i.e., the ability of the student to effectively and independently, but with the help of the teacher, use the language being studied on the basis of the acquired experience in the form of knowledge, skills, and abilities. The knowledge obtained as a result of the use of the explanatory and illustrative method weakly forms skills and abilities. Therefore, thanks to the developed system of tasks, where the algorithmization of the educational process is clearly traced, the teacher organizes the students’ activities by repeatedly reproducing the knowledge communicated to them and the ways of activity shown.
