Feature Film as a Means of Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language

The article is devoted to the study of feature films as an effective means of forming linguistic and socio-cultural competencies among students studying Russian as a foreign language. The main purpose of the work is to determine the possibilities of including film materials in the educational process in order to develop speech and socio-cultural competencies among international students. As an example, the film "Morozko" is used, on the basis of which a set of exercises has been developed aimed at mastering vocabulary, grammar and communication skills. The article discusses approaches to working with video at different stages: before viewing, during and after, which allows you to build a logical methodological model. The application of the developed tasks demonstrated a positive effect on the motivation of students and on their ability to perceive Russian speech by ear. The use of visual context helped students to better understand the communication situation and engage in speech activities. Descriptive and analytical methods, elements of a pedagogical experiment, questionnaires and testing were used in the course of the study. The scientific significance lies in the fact that a feature film is considered as a full-fledged educational tool, and not just as an illustration. The results obtained confirm the relevance of the methodology and its suitability for use in RCT training programs at the elementary level.
