Abstract

This article addresses the role of the native language in learning Russian as a foreign language. The author describes the role attributed to the native language by the modern methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language in the training process or preparation thereto. It is concluded that addressing the native or an intermediate language is methodologically justified in the process of learning Russian as a foreign language if it helps to increase the efficiency of the training process.
