REALIZATION OF THE LINGUODIDACTIC POTENTIAL OF AUTHENTIC PODCASTS IN THE PRACTICE OF TEACHING FRENCH LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL STUDIES

Abstract

The article deals with the methodological aspects of the use of French podcasts in French linguistic and cultural studies classes. To date, the content of the course on linguistic and cultural studies is not just information about the main characteristics of the country. The emphasis is on studying the historical and cultural traditions of the country at the same time as learning the language, which contributes to the formation of a secondary linguistic personality. Turning to authentic podcasts helps to understand rules of speech behavior, additional semantic loads, and is also invaluable in the absence of authentic intercultural communication of students. The author draws attention to the selection criteria for podcasts, reveals advantages of Radio France Internationale and TV5 Monde podcasts, and gives practical recommendations on their use in French linguistic and cultural studies classes.
