THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Аннотация

Author describes the experience of using ready-made neural networks (ChatGPT) and those developed by means of chat bot designers as a means of teaching Russian as a foreign language; the advantages and disadvantages of introducing chatbots in teaching business and scientific communication are revealed; the prospects for introducing artificial intelligence into the practiceofteachingRussianasaforeignlanguage aredetermined.

In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has reached such a level that it has become possibleto use AI in a variety ofareas ofhuman life and activity. At the same time, the introduction of AI occurs so unnoticeably that we do not assumethat for sometimewehave been actively communicating with various systems basedon this technology. Thus, all search engines of known browsers, automatic translators work on the basis of artificial intelligence, AI tracks our movements around the world and on the Internet, analyzes requests and preferences, on the basis of which it offers us to listen to this or that music, watch a video or buy a certain product, when calling a company, chat bots help us solve a problem, and voice assistants Alice, Marusya, Siri entertain us at home. We, without suspecting it, help AI learn, for example, image recognition, when in Captcha we are asked to mark all the pictures that have traffic lights or bicycles. In this regard, it seems quite natural that AI is beginning to be introduced into the field of education, since in orderto improve the quality of life, a modern person must have the skills to communicate with AI. This will allow it to solve varioustypesofproblemsmuchfaster. Artificial intelligence is changing the way educators approach teaching and learning. By incorporating AI tools, schools can personalize learning paths to suit each student’s learning needs and improve overall academicperformance. With AI-powered systems, professors can create more inclusive lesson plans and provide immediate feedback, ensuring improved learning outcomes. This shift allows teachers to spend more of their time on interactive student learning, rather than being held down by automating administrativetasks. As a result, the classroom transforms into a hub of innovation where AI integration supports bothteaching and thenatural development ofevery student. Materials and methods. In terms of the above, the use of AI in teaching Russian to students of national groups (hereinafter referred to as RKI) becomes significant, since this technology is capable of providing a foreign-language student with the opportunity to communicate in Russian, taking into account the constantly changing linguistic reality and in the absence of psychological barriers in communication. Of particular importance, in our opinion, is the use of AI in the practice of teaching foreign speakers the scientific style of speech and business Russian (Russian for professional communication), since this technology 456 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue08,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai allows for the rapid organization of communicative situations for students in the relevant areas ofcommunication. Therefore, the relevance ofthis studyis dueto: 1)thewidespread useof AI; 2)theneed todevelop students' skillsin working with AI; 3) the availability of opportunities to use AI as an effective means of teaching foreign studentscommunication, in particular professional and scientific communication. Defining the role of artificial intelligence in foreign students' mastery of scientific and professional communication isthepurpose ofthisarticle. Results. In accordancewith thestated goal,thefollowing tasks were defined: 1)find ways to use AItechnology inteaching Russianas aforeign language; 2) introduce AI technology into the educational process in the context of studying the scientificstyle ofspeech and businessRussian; 3) establish how effective the use of AI is in teaching the scientific style of speech and professional communication. A review of scientific and methodological literature showed that the following digital tools, created on the basis of artificial intelligence technologies, are used in the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language: 1) services developed on the basis of automatic text processing by AI [2]; 2) ready-made chatbots designed to perform a wide range of tasks (Alice, Mondly, MyRUSkey) [4; 5]; 3) chatbots specially developed for Russian as a foreign language tasks [1; 4]. The analysis of the implementation of the specified digital services in teaching Russian as a foreign language showed that the most popular tools among them are chatbots, which are use
