Abstract:

The article is devoted to the ways of setting and correcting Russian sound reproduction among the representatives of Asia, particularly among the Chinese native speakers applying the modern methods in Logopedics. The use of logopedic examination methods in combination with observation of the specifics of phonetics of the language on the native speakers (who are trainees in our investigation) allows the lecturer to solve effectively the tasks and overcome possible complications in solving them. This paper is an attempt to describe the frequency violations of norms in the Russian speech of the Chinese speakers and to suggest ways of setting and correcting Russian language pronunciation problems.

The aim of the study is the investigation of correctional and pedagogical work on the formation of Russian language sound reproduction among the speakers of the Chinese language whereas methods and techniques of Logopedics are applied. The main tasks of the study are determined:
1) the identification of the main difficulties in the Russian language sound reproduction of the Chinese speakers;
2) the typological comparison of phonetic systems of Russian and Chinese languages;
3) the determination of the basic methods of setting and correcting Russian sounds difficulties based on the Chinese language sound system of the informants;
4) the correction of the cases of phonetic interference by focusing on differences in similar phonemes for both languages;
5) the approbation of the methodology during the educational year in teaching Russian language.

The correction and pedagogical work on the formation of Russian sound reproduction among Chinese speakers is seen by the authors in a set of approaches developed in Logopedics and the methodology of the Russian language as a foreign language.

In conclusion, the main solutions of the work suggested to be directed not mainly to overcome the interfering influence of the native language, but rather in finding a positive element in the similarity of the usual articulatory movements of the students’ native language and the Russian language.
