How is emotional expression taught in Russian language courses

Emotional expression in Russian language courses is taught through a variety of integrated approaches that target both linguistic and cultural competencies. These include:

• Using media discourse and interview texts to demonstrate and teach verbs and expressions that convey subjectivity and emotions, such as думать, считать, полагать. These are analyzed in their meanings, stylistic differences, and appropriate contexts to help students express evaluative and emotional modalities. ¹

• Incorporating emotional intelligence development in lessons by including emotive language material and teaching students to express emotions appropriately within the linguistic culture of Russian. Specific emotive tasks and techniques are used to engage students emotionally, which improves motivation and memory retention. ²

• Employing phraseological units and idiomatic expressions that are rich in emotional and expressive connotations, supporting communicative competence and cultural understanding of emotional nuances in Russian. ³

• Using creative tasks such as visualization of Russian poems and songs via AI tools to enhance emotional engagement and creative expression in writing and speaking. ⁴

• Emphasizing nonverbal communication like facial expressions and body language to complement verbal emotional expression, which plays a significant role, especially at early stages of learning. ⁵

• Leveraging contrastive-typological approaches and specialized linguistic techniques in teaching emotions and evaluative lexics, especially tailored for students from specific language backgrounds, such as Turkic speakers. ⁶

Overall, emotional expression is woven into lexical, grammatical, and cultural teaching components, using interactive, media-based, creative, and cognitive-emotional strategies to help learners express emotions authentically in Russian. ^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
