Peculiarities of teaching students foreigners the basics of oratory

We substantiate the necessity of teaching students foreigners the aesthetics of Russian language, speech culture and oratory. This is due to the fact that the students in the learning process have to speak publicly: to participate in discussions, conversations, dialogues, make presentations and reports on scientific topics, read the verses, retell the texts, defend coursework, diplomas, etc. It is necessary for them to acquire communication skills to communicate in Russian language, get acquainted with the culture, traditions and customs of our country. It is well known that public speaking foreigners studying Russian language at home in most cases, using textbooks and with fewer practical classes are not always convincing, of course. It is well known that public speaking of foreigners who studied Russian in their native country, in most cases with the help of textbooks and with a small number of practical classes, do not always sound convincing and naturally. Poverty of lexicon leads to voids in the speech, ignorance of basic grammar rules entails the use of nouns only in the nominative case, and verbs in the infinitive form. Students, especially from Asian countries, are very much afraid of public speaking, nervous, worrying, often go astray, forget words, etc. In connection with this we analyze the main aspects of teaching foreign students the public speaking. We formulate the requirements for the speech technique and speed, intonation, tone and timbre of their voices, the use of specific rhetorical techniques, lexical means of expressiveness, pantomimicry of students and the formation of general informativeness, expressiveness and beauty of oratorical speeches.
