Abstract

It’s possible to distinguish two opposite streams within distance language learning and Russian as a foreign language particularly (RFL). On the one hand there had been created net platforms where a student can study foreign language on his own without a contact to a teacher. One the other hand weblessons, or skype lessons grow increasingly popular. They are full-bodied traditional lessons which occur online by modern programs, providing reliable video-contact. Nevertheless it’s quite obvious that both variants are not optimal, their disadvantages are quite prominent. Thus an idea of balanced juxtaposing of both approaches is a live issue. The aim of the present article is a description if linguodidactic bases for a distance learning RFL course for beginners which combines in the best possible way self-study activities and learning activities in contact with teacher. The main principles of the course elaboration are stated in the article.
