CINEMAPEDAGOGY IN TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: USING FILMS TO UNDERSTAND CULTURAL CODES

Abstract

The objective of the article is to refine theoretical aspects and highlight the benefits of cinema pedagogy in teaching Russian as a foreign language (RFL). The study examines the methodology and conditions for using cinema pedagogy in RFL instruction. It is emphasized that this approach aids in developing language skills and shaping sociocultural competence. A key aspect of speech readiness is the ability to perceive spoken language and adapt to conversation partners, which can be effectively enhanced through film viewing. The study reveals that films enable deep cultural immersion by incorporating authentic materials. The advantages of cinema pedagogy in RFL education are outlined. The ideas of its use for working with international students are characterized. Special attention is given to the selection of films and their suitability for teaching purposes. Based on the research findings, unified recommendations for the application of cinema pedagogy are justified. This study will be useful for educators working on teaching methodologies and cinema pedagogy.
