Using Humorous Texts to Improve Communicative Language Proficiency

Abstract

The article discusses humorous texts that are used in Russian language classes. In particular, they are presented in dialogues.
This technique has a positive effect on the development of communicative language proficiency, arousing significant interest
among foreign students. Usually, hilarity is rarely used in the educational process because students face difficulties. But the
lecturer's comments help to deal with them. Since texts of a humorous nature arouse considerable interest among students and
help a person communicate with other people, they cannot be bypassed.
Thus, understanding humor in a foreign language is a sign of language proficiency.
