Russian as a Foreign Language, teaching language to non-native speakers, formation of pronunciation skills, interlingual interference, phonetics, phonotactics, Vietnamese

The paper considers the results of employing new drill material developed and initially tested by the authors as well as related techniques in the process of teaching Russian as a Foreign Language to Vietnamese speakers. The undertaken pronunciation training analysis based on standard articulatory structure of Russian vowels contributed to a detailed description of pronunciation faults and to identification of a number of its characteristics. Thus, the peculiarities of pronunciation of Russian vowels are conditioned by interlingual interference, i.e. Vietnamese language vocalism, phonotactics and syllable structure and functioning. The study of pronunciation peculiarities manifesting the sound system of Vietnamese language and directly influencing the study of the Russian language demonstrates the significance of practical application as it allows a teacher of Russian as a Foreign Language to predict typical pronunciation mistakes and to customize a training programme. The conducted experiment revealed positive dynamics of the learning process, demonstrating the conformance of learning outcomes with the planned ones at all teaching stages as well as a high level of development of speech skills and the ability to employ the acquired skills.
