FEATURES OF TEACHING CHINESE STUDENTS TO READ IN RUSSIAN

We discuss some features of learning to read in the Russian language for Chinese students. The problem of teaching reading to Chinese students studying Russian is one of the important and insufficiently developed problems of teaching Russian as a foreign language. In order to improve the efficiency of teaching reading, we propose the principles of selection of text material, pre-text and post-text tasks, which are aimed at the formation of skills to extract the necessary information from the printed text. The proposed methods of teaching can increase the level of motivation of reading in Russian in the Chinese audience. We present the data of the research, which was carried out within three years, according to the proposed principle of selection of material for reading. The data show that in a group where the principle of text selection for reading, a higher level of formation of reading, listening and speaking than in another group. The system of work with texts is consistently and specifically aimed at facilitating understanding of the content and develops the ability to operate with language material taking into account the specifics of the perception of the written text. The proposed method of learning to read allows to attract attention and raise the interest of students to the Russian language and forms the linguistic and cultural tolerance.
