Ethno-oriented approach to teaching russian phonetics to foreign-language schoolchildren

The article discusses the possibilities of using an ethno-oriented approach in teaching Russian pronunciation to younger foreign students. We attempt to solve the problem of overcoming phonetic interference in the speech of Tajik children studying in Russian schools. The purpose of the study presented in the article is to substantiate and develop an effective ethnic-oriented set of exercises to overcome the Tajik-Russian phonetic interference and the formation of pronunciation skills in children with Tajik as their native language. In the course of a comparative analysis of the Russian and Tajik phonetic systems, we reveal their differences, which are potential interferemes – points of a possible negative transfer of the native language sounds on the articulation of Russian ones. Taking into account the results of a comparative analysis, we have developed special sets of exercises that practice all stages of the formation of pronunciation skills in Tajik children. The article proves the expediency of using these educational complexes with schoolchildren in a video format where the work on sounds is supervised by an experienced teacher of Russian as a foreign language with a speech therapy education, which allows him to use special techniques for improving pronunciation skills, allowing foreign children to overcome the existing articulatory stereotypes of their native language. Particular attention is paid to articulatory warm-ups, which prepare the organs of speech for productive work on a certain sound. The research materials can be used directly in the educational process, as well as in the development of recommendations for school teachers working with foreign children and textbooks on phonetics, including educational aids in innovative formats, which determines the practical and theoretical value of the presented conception of ethno-oriented phonetics teaching.
