TEACHING STUDENTS DIALOGIC SPEECH USING AUTHENTIC PODCASTS IN RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES

Abstract

The article explores the use of podcasts for teaching Russian as a foreign language, with particular emphasis on the methodology of using authentic podcasts to develop dialogic speech in students. The main focus is made on analyzing the effectiveness of podcasts in developing communication skills and their genre characteristics, exemplified by the podcast “Monday Cast.” It discusses how the dynamism and spontaneity of the podcast hosts’ speech contribute to the natural perception of the language and student engagement in the linguistic environment. The methodological approaches to integrating podcasts into the educational process are described, including the development of exercises and creating conditions for active listening and engaging in dialogue. The author aims to trace the process of students developing the ability to engage in dialogue, actively listen, and reproduce speech. The exercises used at different stages of learning are considered, from introduction to creating their own dialogic statements. The proposed methodology can be used in universities for intermediate-level language students.
