The article contemplates the issues of the development and control of audiolingual skills at the pre-university stage in teaching Russian language to foreign students as a means of communication in the social, educational and scientific fields.
Control is an integral part of the educational process in any educational institution. In didactics, control is a test of students' knowledge, skills and abilities. Effective teaching Russian as a foreign language is impossible without a clear, scientifically organized control system.
In terms of teaching oral and written communication in a foreign language in relation to control, the pronunciation skills should be understood as correct automated pronunciation of sounds and sound combinations, correct stress and statements intonation in the process of verbal communication. Prosody – speech melody, stress placement, rate of speech – holds a special place in speaking. A special aspect of correct pronunciation is mastering the intonation of the Russian language, including familiarity with the main types of intonation constructions (IC) and their use, the rules of syntagmatic articulation, the concept of IC center and its place in a sentence, the tone movement on the IC center. A large number of pronunciation errors falls on intonation thus disrupting communication. Among others, a common mistake in studying the intonation of the Russian language is the absence of the necessary lowering of the tone on the tonic and post-tonic parts of IC-1.
This creates the impression of incompleteness of a statement and violation of the sentence communicative types: narrative, interrogative. Therefore, it can be argued that it is the prosodic skills - the skills of performing prosodic operations correctly - that should be subject to pronunciation control.
