LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL TASKS FOR TURKMEN STUDENTS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article deals with description of the didactic potential of linguistic and cultural tasks from the perspective of their use in teaching Russian as a foreign language. The proposed research is carried out at the intersection of three scientific areas: linguodidactics, linguoculturology and linguopersonology. The tasks of the work are to develop and test this type of assignment for Turkmen students studying at preparatory courses in Russian universities. The paper offers the authors’ model of comparative analysis of oral and written speech of international students, which is based on unified, specially developed assessment criteria, taking into account the requirements of the State Standard. The results of the study show that performing linguistic and cultural tasks based on the available knowledge of their own linguistic culture increases the motivation of Turkmen students to learn Russian, while performing written tasks is more successful than oral answers.
