Teaching Foreigners to Read and Understand Russian Landscape Poetry as a Way to Introduce Them to the Russian World

The article notes the great educational and upbringing potential of Russian literature, which allows activating the skills of foreigners in all types of speech activity, providing valuable regional and linguacultural knowledge, forming their positive attitude towards Russia, and introducing them to the Russian world. The expediency of reading and discussing Russian landscape lyrics with foreign students is substantiated, regardless of their future specialty, age, nationality and other characteristics. The principles of working with authentic poetic texts in a foreign audience are considered. A system of working with N. I. Rylenkov’s poem “Everything in the melting haze...” is proposed, which has been repeatedly tested by the author of the article in Russian language classes with students from different countries of the world.
