Abstract

This article describes the results of the experimental research, during which an attempt to identify the possibilities and ways of using of Russian language environment in the teaching of Russian as a foreign language was made. Ways of using of Russian language environment depend on its functions in the process of mastering of the Russian language by foreign students. There are guide functions (informative and communicative) and auxiliary functions (motivational, eliminative, diagnostic, correcting, activating). Orientation to self-study in terms of the Russian language environment helps to speed up the mastering of the language system and its speech implementation, increases confidence by students in their knowledge and their personal responsibility for level of knowledge of the Russian language. Conscious integration of the language environment enhances students’ communicative abilities. Students can perceive comprehensively a vocabulary of different spheres of communication with the ability to get the full experience of communication in each of the areas of functioning of the Russian language, which are available to them.
