MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES OF TEACHING
“RUSSIAN LANGUAGE” TO FOREIGN STUDENTS AT THE INITIAL STAGE

In the 21st century, The National Doctrine of Education Development in Ukraine determines the following priority ways of education modernization: forming high level of every society member’s information culture, implementing innovative teaching methods using computer technologies into the educational process. The question is about deepening education content, improving pedagogical methods of information and knowledge operating, using multimedia technologies at lessons. At the Preparatory Department for Training of Foreigners at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, “Russian language” is taught to foreign students basing on the multimedia course “Time to speak Russian”. The research is aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of this multimedia complex into practical classes. The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of teaching the Russian language to small groups of foreign students (up to 10 students), in 4 groups (40 students) at the initial stage using multimedia technologies and traditional teaching methods (explanation of new material, consolidation of knowledge, generalization of knowledge, improvement of skills, assessment of knowledge, development of speech). The type of multimedia technologies use at different kinds of the Russian language practical classes has significant differences. With almost the same level of the acquired knowledge, multimedia technologies facilitate the absorption of new vocabulary and grammatical rules, qualitative consolidation of new knowledge, improvement of skills. Also they stimulate cognitive interest, intellectual and creative potential, strengthen foreign students’ motivation to learn the Russian language. In general, multimedia technologies use makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of teaching.
