Methods of overcoming the language interference in the speech of Russian-speaking immigrants in the Czech Republic

The purpose of this research was to analyze the Russian-Czech interference in the speech of bilingual students, as well as to develop methods for overcoming this interference and approbation of these methods in practice. Corrective strategies for dealing with interference in studying foreign languages with the aim of improving the quality of language knowledge are presented in the article. The functional approach to Russian grammar teaching, in particular, is gaining in importance. The implementation of the functional approach is closely linked to the training of intra-level and inter-level relationships between different language units. A good effect is achieved by the teaching of morphology on a syntactic, i.e. text basis. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
