DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE TEACHING: MODERN PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
This article explores the development of communicative competence in the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language through the application of modern pedagogical technologies. In the context of globalization and the increasing demand for multilingual communication, the formation of students’ ability to effectively use the Russian language in real-life situations has become a key objective of language education. The study analyzes contemporary methodological approaches, including communicative, competency-based, and task-based learning, as well as the integration of digital tools and interactive teaching methods. Particular attention is given to the role of student-centered learning, collaborative activities, and authentic materials in enhancing language acquisition. The article also identifies existing challenges in Russian language teaching, such as linguistic interference, low motivation, and limited exposure to real communication environments. Based on theoretical analysis and practical observations, the author proposes methodological recommendations aimed at improving the effectiveness of teaching and fostering communicative competence among learners. The findings contribute to the advancement of foreign language teaching methodology and can be applied in higher education and teacher training practice.
