Abstract: This article is devoted to using ICT to organize learning (using the example of a lesson tour) in groups of international students studying Russian at the B1 level. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the creation and introduction into the educational process of an interactive guide on the topic "Maslenitsa traditions," aimed at forming communicative, linguistic, and socio-cultural competencies of foreign students. The object of the study is the process of introducing ICT in the field of foreign language education. The subject of the study: changing the content of the teaching methodology of RCT by introducing ICT into the learning process. Research objectives: to identify the methodological potential of ICT as a means of organizing training in groups of foreign students, to develop a system of exercises within the framework of an interactive excursion on the topic "Maslenitsa traditions" for foreign students, to create worksheets and introduce an interactive guide on the topic "Maslenitsa traditions" into the process of experiential learning in groups of foreign students of non-philological profile at the B1 level of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba. The methods and materials correspond to the specified research objectives. The analysis of scientific and methodological literature on topical issues of the use of ICT in the teaching methodology of RCT was carried out. To prove the interactive guide's effectiveness, experimental training was conducted at the Department of Russian Language No. 5 of the IRA RUDN, as well as an analysis of the results. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the creation and introduction into the educational process of an interactive guide on the topic "Maslenitsa traditions," aimed at forming communicative, linguistic, and socio-cultural competencies of foreign students. As a result of the study, the methodological potential of using an interactive guide within the framework of a lesson/excursion was revealed, and the conclusions of experimental training were indicated, confirming the effectiveness of introducing the chosen learning tool into the RCT learning process. It is proved that the use of an interactive guide increases the effectiveness of the formation of communicative, linguistic, and socio-cultural competencies of international students studying the Russian language and culture of Russia. The study concludes that the active introduction of ICT, namely, developments in the field of creating an interactive guide to organize learning within the framework of a lesson tour, contributes to international students’ successful and comprehensive development of the Russian language.

The work is a brief theoretical overview, as well as an analysis of the results of an empirical study. The subject of the study. The work is aimed at consideration .promising areas of ICT use in the practice of teaching RCT. In particular, the author analyzed the features of creating an interactive guide within the framework of a lesson tour, which allows foreign students to familiarize themselves with the culture of Russia through the study of the celebration of Maslenitsa. Research methodology. The author analyzed a number of works that considered the problem raised. However, the theoretical and methodological analysis of the sources was not carried out. The methods and materials used in the study correspond to the specified research objectives. The author analyzed the scientific and methodological literature on topical issues of the use of ICT in the teaching methodology of RCT. Russian Russian Language Department No. 5 of the RUDN Institute of the Russian Language conducted an experimental training to prove the effectiveness of the created interactive guide, as well as an analysis of the results obtained during the research on this problem. The relevance of research. The problem raised in the article is significant. The author notes that the analysis of scientific papers shows that the introduction of intellectual maps, quizzes and quizzes, flash cards, infographics, worksheets, etc. into the learning process of RCT has been actively developed. At the same time, the authors of scientific publications repeatedly emphasize that ICTs serve as the basis for the introduction of innovative methods in teaching foreign languages, contributing to the integration of methodological potential into the development of new practices and approaches. But one of the promising areas of using ICT in the practice of teaching RCT is the creation of an interactive guide as a means of organizing learning within the framework of a lesson tour aimed at developing language skills, activating vocabulary and grammar, stimulating group work in the learning process, as well as the formation of communicative and socio-cultural competence. The scientific novelty of the research. The work carried out allowed the author to obtain the following results: the methodological potential of ICT as a means of organizing training in groups of foreign students was identified; a system of exercises was developed as part of an interactive excursion on the topic "Maslenitsa traditions" for foreign students and worksheets were created; an interactive guide on the topic "Maslenitsa traditions" was introduced into the process of experiential learning in groups of foreign students non-philological profile at the B2 level of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia.

Second Peer Review

The object of research in the presented work is the process of teaching RCTs based on ICT, the subject is its implementation within the framework of a lesson tour. The relevance of the research is due to the understanding of ICT as the main condition for innovative pedagogical activity. From a methodological point of view, the work has an inductive character, since general conclusions are drawn based on a local example of the educational process, which is typical for articles of a scientific and methodological nature. From a linguistic point of view, the work was done in accordance with the norms of scientific style. The text may be of interest to a very wide audience of teaching practitioners. The list of references from a meaningful point of view meets the requirements and is reflected on the pages of the work. In the theoretical part, a very detailed study of the methodological significance of the lesson-excursion, as well as ICT in the educational process of RCT at the level of specific advantages deserves attention and unconditional positive assessment. However, there are a number of comments on the work. From a formal point of view, the description of the theoretical and methodological basis of the research in a work of such local significance looks somewhat unusual. The five approaches are more likely to correspond to a doctoral thesis in terms of methodological significance; in our opinion, it was enough to describe the research methods in the journal article. In our opinion, the images from the applications would look more advantageous if they were dispersed throughout the text. The placement of applications at the end is still more typical for qualification work. The section "discussion of the results" in this case is the main part and does not contain the traditional information about the ratio of research materials to the general state of the publication field. From a substantive point of view, all comments on the work boil down to the fact that the practical part in it has been replaced by a methodological development – a text of a genre other than analytical. In fact, in this case, the significance of the article is reduced to the retransmission of the author's practical experience, but it is hardly possible to talk about the justification of the effectiveness of ICT in the framework of the lesson-excursion stated at the beginning. In fact, the author demonstrates the effectiveness and benefits of ICT using a specific example, which is valuable from a methodological point of view. However, scientific analysis is based on the relativity of the concept of "efficiency". This is how the lesson-excursion is supposed to be compared with and without ICT in the framework of a practical experiment or theoretical reflection. It is also possible to compare the use of ICT in the framework of an excursion lesson and a regular lesson. The presented remarks somewhat impoverish the article from a meaningful point of view, namely in terms of scientific analysis, however, they do not negate the understanding that the text as a whole is executed at a high level and is of practical value to the teaching audience. Thus, this manuscript can be published in a peer-reviewed journal if the publication policy involves the publication of works of a methodological nature.
