WAYS TO SOLVE COMPLICATIONS CONNECTED WITH PRACTICAL SPEECH ACTIVITY (SPEAKING) OF IRANIAN RUSSIANIST STUDENTS IN LANGUAGE UNIVERSITIES OF IRAN

Abstract

The article discusses the current state of the system of teaching academic and professional Russian as a foreign language in Iranian language universities. It focuses on the reasons for the decline in the quality of students’ training, suggests ways to improve the quality of education and increase the level of proficiency in practical speech activity. The need for Iranian students as future philologists and translators of foreign language communicative competence in all types of speech activity, especially speaking, is emphasized. The need to minimize the theory of grammar in favor of functional grammar is noted, which, when separated from the linguistic environment, can provide students not only with knowledge about the content of a grammatical material, but also help them to master in parallel communicative-behavioral characteristics, speech-behavioral tactics and sociocultural stereotypes owned by native speakers of the Russian language. Based on the research, the author proposes improvement methods aimed at improving the quality of professional training of Iranian students, requiring a rethinking of the purpose and content of training.
