Abstract:
This article is devoted to the description of Internet resources for teaching Russian as a foreign language to preschool children from the point of view of multimodality, that is, the use of text, audio and visual means of information transmission.

The process of teaching foreign languages is multi-modal, since during the study of the language the student masters different types of language learning activities such as listening skills, reading, speaking, writing. Despite this, the multimodality of teaching foreign languages was not the subject of a special study of linguists until the end of the 20th century.

However, nowadays technologies allow us to expand and diversify the modern educational space. A significant role in the teaching of foreign languages has began to occupy electronic learning tools such as electronic dictionaries and programs, online courses, video tutorials, photographic materials and presentations.

The use of Internet resources provides many opportunities for training various language skills, makes the process of teaching foreign languages more fun and diverse, and also allows you to work independently. The Internet is often used as an assistant in additional learning. An important role is played by the association of information and educational technologies, as well as education on this basis of modern integrated learning technologies, which are based on Internet resources.

When creating online resources for teaching foreign languages, it is necessary, first of all, to determine the necessary moduses of the program: text, audio, linguistic, spatial and visual components.

The choice and prevalence of content depends on various factors: the purpose of the training, the contingent of students, the level of language proficiency, etc.

One of the main goals of teaching preschool children a foreign language on the basis of Internet resources is the formation of lexical and grammatical skills, as well as types of language learning activities such as speaking, listening, writing, reading.
