Abstract. In modern school, when learning a foreign language, an approach which is used more and more often is students work in small groups. If we estimate the efforts which students put in working in a group in order to achieve a common result, then all the students’ motivation is considerably higher.
Working in small groups during Russian language classes creates a very good opportunity for communication, enables the development of students’ speaking ability which is very important in learning foreign language. Working in small groups develops students’ communication skills, creates their personal qualities, helps them realize their social role in society. The teacher’s role changes, too. The teacher only directs the work, partly helps, corrects and supports the creative searching.
