LINGUISTIC AND DIDACTIC APPROACHES TO LEARNING VERB ASPECTS IN RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE LESSONS

Abstract

This article analyzes the linguistic aspects related to teaching perfective and imperfective verb aspects in Russian as a foreign language instruction. Mastery of grammar and a clear understanding of the distinctions between these two verb aspects play a crucial role in learning Russian. For foreign learners, using correct verb aspects is a fundamental grammatical requirement, yet one of the greatest challenges due to its semantic subtleties and contextual implications. Errors in verb aspect usage can lead to misunderstandings in communication, which poses significant obstacles to language learning. This study identifies the difficulties learners face in distinguishing and correctly using verb aspects and proposes effective teaching methods and practice exercises to enhance their acquisition. The application of these methods not only improves learners' grammatical competence but also strengthens their use of Russian verbs. This study provides insights for instructors in designing language exercises that optimize practical application, enhance verb usage, and facilitate the integration of linguistic knowledge.
