On the study of poetic texts in the lessons of Russian as a foreign language

One of the important tasks in teaching Russian as a foreign language (RFL) is immersion of a foreign student into the cultural environment of the target language. And one of the means of implementation of this task is the study of Russian poetry. A special place is given to working with poetic texts in the lessons of Russian as a foreign language. A literary text is an effective means of bringing foreign students closer to the natural linguistic and cultural environment; it is a separate model of national culture. Based on the principle of the close interrelation of language and culture, it is important to acquaint foreign students with the culture of different peoples living on the territory of Russia. «The Star of the Nomad» poem by a famous Russian writing Buryat poet Bair Dugarov is the example of independent cognition and perception by foreign students.
