Development of Foreign Students’ Skills in Use of Qualitative Adjectives in Oral Speech (1^st Certification Level)

Abstract

The article substantiates the relevance of the development of foreign students’ skills in the use of qualitative adjectives in oral speech. The principles of formation of communicative tasks are defined. Attention is drawn to the difficulties encountered by foreign students in the use of adjectives in speech. It is concluded that the reasons for these difficulties are the lack of knowledge of students about the system of Russian adjectives and the lack of actualized links between lexical and grammatical material and pragmatic categories of “situation” and “intention.” The necessity of methodical presentation of a large number of training tasks in dialogue form is proved. Fragments of the author’s development of a set of tasks that are appropriate to use in working with foreign students are presented. It is concluded that the systematic use of materials in the form of dialogues in pedagogical practice will help to overcome the communicative and psychological difficulties of foreign students studying the vocabulary of the Russian language. The practical significance of the research results is that the presented tasks for the formation of an active vocabulary of adjectives will not only systematize the information about adjectives studied by students, but also form such qualities of speech as accuracy, expressiveness, richness, clarity, diversity. Scientific significance is determined by the principles, the work on the basis of which will help foreign students not to lose motivation to study the Russian language, to increase interest in the development of its wealth; to have a desire to master the visual and expressive possibilities of the Russian language, to realize the aesthetic appeal of speech, which is created by using adjectives.
