Abstract:

This research is devoted to modern trends in the organization of the educational process. The authors pay special attention to the creation of educational multimedia complexes based on mnemonic supports as a means of organizing the educational process. One of the main objects of consideration is the problem of organizing individual work at the initial stage of teaching Russian to foreign students at the pre-university stage of education. The authors emphasize the need for a close relationship between classroom and independent study and they believe that mnemonic techniques can be an effective means of ensuring the connection of these two forms of students’ educational activity on the initial period of study. The article considers the types of mnemonic supports that are of the most interest in the study of any foreign language including Russian as a foreign language.

As a result of their methodological work the authors started the creation of a special integrative educational environment for students to achieve a high level of linguistic, communicative and cultural competence. Such an educational environment will help to expand the limits of the language environment, create an individual learning path for each student, and master a large amount of linguistic and extralinguistic information. Currently, experimental work is being carried out with a group of foreign students at the initial level of language proficiency to confirm the theoretical provisions of the study.
