TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO THE HOMO CLIPUS GENERATION: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2016. Issue 1 (166). P. 123-127

This article analyses the specificity of teaching Russian to Polish students of Russian at the university level, in particular those students who are characterised by clip thinking (hence the name homo clipus). The main aim of this article is to suggest the approach, methods and means to be used in teaching a foreign language to students from the homo clipus generation. There being no studies on teaching Russian as a foreign language to homo clipus students, this study serves as a counterbalance to more traditional approaches to teaching Russian as a foreign language by offering a description of specific ways of learning adopted by young people who represent the homo clipus generation.
