At the recent methodological webinar “Modern Didactic Materials and Online Resources in Russian Language Classes Abroad,” which was part of the practical webinar series “Technological Innovations in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL),” current approaches and materials for teaching Russian as a foreign language were presented.

The speakers shared valuable experiences and new methods that can significantly improve the teaching process. In particular, Anatoly Berdichevsky, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, introduced the textbook series “I Want/Can Speak Russian” for bilingual children, edited by him. According to the speaker, these materials focus on developing communication skills in children for whom Russian is not their native language and can be especially useful in multicultural environments.

Kristina Evgenyevna Agafonova, Ph.D. in Pedagogical Sciences and Director of the ANO CPRYaK “Institute of Russian Studies,” spoke about modern audio-visual tools actively used in RFL classes. She emphasized how multimedia technologies help engage students in the learning process, making it more interactive and effective. Special attention was given to tools such as video lessons and audio courses, which help diversify Russian language classes and, in particular, immerse students in the cultural environment of the language being studied.

Events for teachers and methodologists working in the RFL field will continue, and we invite everyone interested to join future webinars. We welcome all those who want to exchange experiences, learn about the latest educational technologies, and improve the quality of Russian language teaching abroad. Stay tuned for announcements!
