The role of modern information technologies in teaching Russian in universities

Abstract

Modern information technologies have had a great influence on the teaching of the Russian language in universities. These technologies have become an integral part of our daily life in recent years and have had a significant impact on various aspects of education. This article is aimed at studying the unique role and importance of modern information technologies in teaching the Russian language, highlighting the opportunities and problems that they bring to the educational process. In addition, it will be analyzed how these technologies affect the development of students' skills. Modern society and the rapidly changing information environment pose challenges and requirements for teaching Russian. In response, technological innovations become necessary, as they offer new tools and materials for learning and applying the Russian language. Offering interactivity and accessibility, modern information technologies are known as one of their main features. For students who want to learn Russian in a more exciting and effective way, there are interactive online platforms and applications that provide multimedia materials, interactive tasks and games. These resources help in developing communication skills in Russian. In addition, the inclusion of online testing and self-testing has become an integral component of Russian language teaching. Checking their knowledge and assessing progress allows students to develop self-organization and self-control skills, which ultimately increases motivation and strengthens self-confidence. Regular use of digital technologies in their educational process is a common practice for about 60% of teachers of higher education institutions worldwide, as evidenced by statistics collected in 2021. Such a prevalence of the use of digital tools in education creates a dynamic environment that allows teachers to better serve the needs of students and raise the level of teaching of the Russian language.
