Description
Summary:The regional component in teaching foreigners the Russian language is becoming increasingly important in the modern educational space. The article presents the methodology of teaching foreign students from China and South Korea to Russian phonetics using vargan, the national instrument of the Yakutia. The methodological basis of the study includes comparison, observation, study and summary of personal experience in a foreign audience. The indicated methods made it possible to prove the musical instrument vargan has a wide potential in teaching the phonetics of foreign students in the Russian language classes. It removes language difficulties, corrects the production of sounds, promotes the development of musical ear and motivation to learn the Russian language, relieve fatigue, and overcome the intercultural barrier. During the analysis of the main phonetic difficulties of students from China and South Korea, similar and distinctive features of the sound system of the native and Russian languages were highlighted, a system of training exercises was proposed that would interest students in pronunciation, practicing and correcting specific unpronounceable Russian sounds. Prospects for the study are the further use of the harbor in the classroom with students from countries such as Japan, Vietnam, India, Italy, Hungary, France, which have a similar musical instrument.
