THE PROCESS OF PHONETIC SKILLS AND PHONEMATIC HEARING DEVELOPMENT OF CHINESE STUDENTS LEARNING RUSSIAN

This article presents the results of a comparative analysis of two phonetic systems and the experimental data obtained in monitoring phonetic skills and phonematic hearing of Chinese students of preparatory faculty, philological faculty (bachelors), postgraduate students-philologists. Describing the dynamics of phonetic skills and phonematic hearing has practical and theoretical meaning, because it is important to identify the reason of incorrect pronunciation and find the best solution to correct it. Only theoretical (linguistic) and experimental methods in phonetic studies can reveal more objective characteristics of native (Chinese) language interference. The comparative analysis of phonetic and intonational differences of typologically different languages makes it possible to predict phonetic difficulties and accent of Chinese students speaking Russian and differentiate the objective mistakes, caused by native language interference, and individual ones. The experiment has revealed typical phonetic mistakes resulting from the linguistic features of the two languages, and subjective factors (psychological, physiological) in a certain learning environments. The purpose of the article is to show that the development of phonemic hearing in the process of studying a foreign language and the dynamics of phonetic skills are interrelated. They influence the effectiveness of studying a foreign language. So the teacher should not underestimate the role of phonetics in teaching a foreign language.
