Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of forming pronunciation skills in students from African countries at studying Russian as a foreign language. The purpose of study is to consider a number of theoretical issues of the formation of phonetic skills at studying Russian as well as the main difficulties foreign students encounter at the process of developing phonetic skills, and to identify ways to overcome these difficulties. A survey among students from african countries, and a statistical analysis of the data were conducted. The authors believe that the successful development of phonetic skills in Russian is facilitated by taking into account the characteristics of cognitive, mental processes, and the mentality of foreign students.
