today we will talk about dictionaries and their role in learning Russian as a foreign language answering our questions will be certified Russian language teacher with extensive experience Yulia [Music] sanava how important do you think the use of a dictionary is in the process of learning Russian with a teacher dictionaries at first glance seem necessary after all each of us when learning a foreign language arms themselves with a pocket dictionary it should be noted that for a long time in secondary school the goal of teaching a foreign language was reading and writing with a dictionary the goal was not to teach speaking and even now some questionaires ask if we know a foreign language and to what extent there is a question I read and write with a dictionary fortunately with teaching Russian as a foreign language the situation is completely different at all levels of language learning our goal is to speak a person should speak without a dictionary because spoken language is spontaneous and unprepared can dictionaries also be avoided when learning other foreign languages with a teacher to answer I'll share an interesting story many years ago the following situation occurred my friend's daughter always wanted to learn foreign languages practically since the age of four by the way now she lives in Luxembourg works at at a university and speaks three languages fluently except for Russian we are very proud of her achievements when she was 11 her mother found her a good English tutor I closely monitored her learning process worried that everything would work out for her visiting them once I wanted to look up something in a dictionary and found out that they didn't have an English Russian or Russian English dictionary in the house my amazement knew no bounds how can you start learning a language without a dictionary her mother explained that she hadn't had time to buy dictionaries I was surprised I used to think it was impossible to start learning a foreign language without a dictionary why don't you recommend using a dictionary at the initial stage of learning Russian I used to teach Russian language and literature in an ordinary secondary school and I never imagined I would teach a foreign language now as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language I can say that leaving a student alone with a dictionary at the initial page is not advisable experienced teachers often do not recommend using a dictionary especially at the beginning it takes up a lot of time and the student is poorly oriented in a dictionary this hinders the development of language intuition lowers motivation and undermines the students confidence what is your attitude towards using online translators and applications when I talk about dictionaries I mean not only paper dictionaries but also also applications and online translators with gadgets you can get a translation but let's clarify the goal of learning a language free spontaneous communication or reading and writing with a dictionary frequent reference to a dictionary hinders the development of language intuition lowers motivation and reduces confidence a teacher should explain the meaning of an unfamiliar word using context visual aids or schematic images for example you can draw the word house write the chemical formula for water or depict the pronouns he and she schematically what is important at the initial stage of learning a language at the beginning of language learning any contact with the teacher is important even nonverbal the joy of understanding and positive emotions build confidence in the student if a student understands A word without a dictionary they think that it's not so difficult and that they can succeed would you like to add anything else for our viewers dear friends don't be afraid to learn Russian don't think it's very difficult everything is possible and within your reach gadgets are useful of course we don't argue with that but at the initial stage of working with a teacher try to do without them it's better to talk more with your teacher believe in yourself and your abilities you will succeed if you liked this video subscribe be to our Channel and like it we will be grateful to you
