Methods Of Working With Text As A Means Of Developing Students’ Speech Skills In The Process Of Learning Russian

Abstract

The article explores the role of text-based activities in developing Uzbek students’ speech skills and communicative competence when learning Russian. It focuses on the selection and adaptation of educational texts, text analysis, retelling, and independent work. Particular attention is paid to preliminary questions as an effective method of improving text comprehension. An experiment involving 36 first-year students demonstrated that answering questions before reading helps students understand and reproduce texts more fully, develop independent thinking, and improve their Russian speech skills
