zenedi andreevna, if we communicated in english, i would probably have to start our conversation with the phrase “how are you?” what would you answer? thanks, and what is this in russian? thank you! too, that is, everything is fine , only one thing is obvious, that my english needs to be improved, that’s what we’ll talk about, my guest has devoted her entire life to linguistics and her beloved university. 58

years of experience and teaching experience, thousands of scientific works and grateful students, today my guest is doctor of philology, professor of the department of general language knowledge, minsk state linguistic university zinaida kharitonchik. zinaida andreevna, hello, it’s not often that an english teacher comes to visit me, in fact, you are the first, so i have a lot of questions, and the first of them is: is it possible to learn english at a fairly professional level at the age of 60? i think it is possible, but very difficult. it all depends on your motivation , on how you are going to learn a new language for you, and although some innate ability that children have, uh, it... remains, but not to the same extent, but

different people, different abilities, different diligence, different motivation , that is, there are too many different factors that , accordingly, influence the success, or even failure, of solving this problem, is there any point in english language courses for children who do not yet know how to ... not to read, i’ll be honest that i personally don’t see such a big point, i have experience teaching english in kindergarten, when i was a student, i worked part-time, and accordingly, i taught english for middle and high school children senior kindergarten groups,

on the one hand, children absolutely easily learn some s... some songs, some poems and even some grammatical patterns, these are children of middle and older groups, and you are talking about children of an even younger age, i would even say that, well, quite perhaps i’m mistaken, that this is a dangerous undertaking, because the child begins his native language, and in order to master his native language, he needs to do a huge, hard intellectual work to obtain, so what we call his native language, he needs to pull out declination,

conjugation, and then in the same way he needs to learn syntactic patterns, construction, and this is a huge intellectual work, imagine that you are entrusting another task to a child, another... to learn the language in the same way, and then medical issues are added will the child’s psyche withstand this? i remember my childhood and learning english began in the fifth grade, probably when the child had already grown up and was ready to perceive the whole complex of necessary knowledge that he would teach only at this age. well, once upon a time... he emphasized that learning a foreign language can only begin when the native language has been adequately mastered, that is, no earlier than 7 years, at least, well, here very often parents

are in a very, very hurry, although there are undoubted benefits of learning a foreign language for development, for my generation remembers well, well, the rather intrusive advertising of ilona davidova’s express course, so do you think, is it possible to quickly learn the same english language, or is this a publicity stunt? there are so-called courses intensive language teaching, they presuppose certain methods, they presuppose a certain purity for... if you agree to devote, say, several hours a day, every day of the week, to learning a foreign language, success to you to some extent, to some extent provided, again

, there is experience in such training, but the first thing you need to understand is what is language knowledge? and what do you mean by the concept of knowledge of a language, because it is quite possible to know several formulas of everyday communication, and this is called knowing language, or even just knowing a greeting and that’s also knowing the language, but it’s another thing to know the language for more serious purposes, then those skills that seem to be primary and sufficient for certain purposes turn out to be insufficient for deeper, more serious purposes, then yes, i understand that the issue of mastering the english language, let’s say, it cannot be common to all people who want to master the english language, everything

really, as you said, depends on the goal that a person sets for himself, well , let’s say, if just learn conversational language, that’s how many days a week - it is necessary that within a year, well, you can start speaking so that you are understood, and how intensively you will study it, i have my own experience of teaching english to a person, a candidate of sciences, biological sciences, who was supposed to to go to america in 3-4 months, in 2 months, he set the task of learning english, but he studied every day... at 8 o’clock, he coped with it, he passed the necessary exam, well, in order to master english, he must communicate with a native speaker? not at all, moreover, i am among the students

uh, i ask quite often, do you think it is much better to study a language in the country of the language being studied, or, say, in minsk-inyaz, they, not quite understanding the essence of the question, answer in the country, i say: well then , repeat that intellectual work of the child, communication with a native speaker gives you the opportunity to practice mastering those skills that you learned earlier with a teacher who, most often, is not a native speaker, a native speaker... and, moreover, very often not a teacher, not a methodologist and does not understand either the structure of the language or the roles of one or another phenomena in the language system, and does not understand at all how to teach this, but

do you have any specific recipe of yours, thanks to which you can quite successfully master the english language? and i can say that there is generally a single recipe for everyone, uh, it’s work, how much time do you need to spend to learn to think in english? we most often translate from russian into english, no, a thought is born in english, a thought, as soon as you switch the system of one language or another, your thought receives form in units of this language, there is a very, very peculiar switching from one language system to another. children's curiosity and genuine

interest. can you tell us about your very first experience as a conductor? is success luck or hard work? it's luck. why does an orchestra need a conductor? what if the musicians themselves know what to play? that everyone didn’t pull the blanket over themselves. there must be a leader in the team. absolute honesty and sincere emotions of the characters. we look so old. we bought a night zaporozhets, disassembled it and his scene was delivered through the window, when i saw the student, i thought she was going to have a heart attack, so you often argue at work, well, we often kill each other at work, a talk show in which famous people answer tricky questions from the younger generation. how strict a father are you? well, i think that this question is some kind of dummy question, but do you have any bad habit, yulia, what kind do you have? no, come on first, they say that it’s difficult to get along with creative people, but you’re an easy

person, we’ll leave that for the backstage, look at the project 100 questions for adults on tv channel belarus 24. dineida andreevna, is there a genetic predisposition to learning languages? i think that there is, uh, some predisposition to master certain skills, let’s say, probably, probably, but i can’t be sure here, there are certain inclinations of mathematical thinking. some philological inclinations, they are associated

with certain abilities, not everyone becomes a writer, it means that it is necessary to master the language accordingly, we see that there are people in the humanities, and there are, rather, naturalists , well, by the way, it’s no secret that there is... a certain number of people who simultaneously speak several languages, polyglots, which means there is a predisposition, there are, after all, well, polyglots, it seems to me this is rather not so much a predisposition to learning languages, although it probably also has this, this also takes place, and polyglots are people who either set as their goal, due to a certain need to study, several languages, or very often find themselves in situations when they need to learn one or another

language. and i heard that people with an ear for music learn a foreign language faster and easier. they learn this, i can say this from personal experience, i am deaf to music, and for me in the first year it was a very, very difficult task to learn. system of the english language, the phonological system, i saw how my fellow students learned this much easier , i had to put more work into it, that is, this melody of the language and, of course, the intonation is easier, and the sounds themselves, not to mention all sorts of articulatory changes, so if it was me, i rather read the theory and... rationally solved these issues, the biggest phobia

for foreign language learners is the fear of making a mistake, what would you advise to overcome this barrier? just speak, don’t be afraid, this very often arises as a result of constant correction of mistakes made by a speaker, a beginner, a speaker of the language, therefore teachers, realizing this, more and more often refuse to directly correct errors, then taking into account... these mistakes in specially prepared exercises, that is, the teacher must work on this, but he will not create this, that fear of making a mistake, which is often observed, but a certain fear of speaking wrong, speaking not as needed,

not as normative , not like a native speaker, he... is overcome as soon as you enter into communication, maybe you can somehow treat this as a game? it’s possible, like this, all life, the game, as it is sung, but we speak our native language, we don’t always speak correctly, and we make a lot of mistakes, despite even i emphasize that even for philological education, over the years of teaching , hundreds of applicants have passed through you, and hence the question: is it possible to learn english without tutors in a regular high school and then enroll in a linguistic university? i think that it is possible, and moreover, a tutor appears when a person does not work hard at school , either on his own, or due to

the teacher’s not quite adequate competence, but i can immediately... honestly say that i cannot really illuminate this issue , because i have not been bound by entrance exams for a long time, well then i have one more question, this is where this stereotype came from, that school english, well, it doesn’t make any sense and you simply can’t do without a tutor, but i can ask a question, regarding mathematics or physics there is no such thing, no such illusion, for sure. .. then in the social consciousness a tutor in mathematics, biology, physics is also required, and they resort to their benefits, and this speaks of our distrust of school, and what is better, online or direct communication with the teacher, direct

communication is unambiguous, the advantage of having live contact, which also involves a channel... not just a message, but an emotional channel, a channel, i would say, an energy one, i’m currently giving online lectures in moscow, but it’s worse, my assignments are harder it has never happened in my life that you would advise parents, if their child doesn’t like english or some other foreign language, to change teachers. a foreign language is not just a tool for communication with other communities, a foreign language is development creative potential, which is associated with a completely different view of the world around us, and accordingly, this is a new vision, new

thinking, one might say, and new thinking is interesting, intriguing. it’s impossible to say, in russian yes, we have 20 fingers, in english we actually , to be extremely precise, have eight fingers, yeah, two thumbs and 10 toes, here you go, this is a little different, well yes, a vision, zinaet andreevna, how

did your passion for the english language begin, even... i can’t tell you exactly, because at school i i was interested in physics and, accordingly, was going to enter the radio engineering institute then, but since for me technically, drawing was not the most pleasant activity for me, and i somehow abandoned radio engineering, and quite accidentally chose foreign language, but it was the english language although... i i studied german at school, and then never regretted my choice for a second, and when you realized that you wanted to connect your life with linguistics, it went on even after graduation, when i started working as a teacher, i worked for 3 years

teacher at the department of lexicology and stylistics of the english language, and accordingly, i had already somewhat mastered the program that i was supposed to teach, and i became interested, we were conducting at that time... different courses, different lectures from different professors, and this interested me, and accordingly i decided to enroll in graduate school, while i had the opportunity to enroll in graduate school with a degree in psychology, and although psychology is one of the most interesting disciplines, i said that i would not give up english i can, but i can’t from linguistics, and accordingly, i entered the moscow state pedagogical institute named after marisa teresa for graduate school in the department

of lexicology and stylistics, in my native department, and what was the most difficult thing in studying, i would say not so much in studying, although i i remember works that were very difficult for me, even after the so-called doctoral studies, there are works that, due to the fact that you did not specialize in this field, are very, very difficult for you to understand. a good morning should start with proper breakfast. this will be one of my favorite breakfasts, we will prepare zucchini pancakes along with red fish , in addition to this we will prepare a healthy green salad, and i will prepare stuffed zucchini, we have friends today, a belly celebration, we will help you make the first

meal tasty, healthy, what a beauty, i haven’t had breakfast, so i can’t wait to start, salt and pepper the sauce well, please, after dressing the salad, when you can handle it, please cut the fish, very interesting, how to choose a quality one? in first of all, pay attention to the packaging, it must be sealed. don’t forget about invigorating exercises; from this position, push yourself up, lifting your pelvis and stretching the entire front line of your body. you should try to jump on your full foot on bent knees to protect the knee joint. watch the breakfast of the champion program on the belarus 24 tv channel. which one. belarus in the eyes of those who once left it. belarusians have more of this active life position.

i love belarusian nature very much, i can come to forest, just stop, stand, look at the sky, admire this beauty. true patriots are ready to share their love for their homeland, far beyond its borders. it is impossible not to love everything connected with the homeland. so that we can carry it. they took them to their countries and there they would also talk about it and with their example of serving the homeland of their ancestors - as if they showed that it can be done, that it must be done, historical memory is the strength of the people, the world can be preserved if you preserve the memory of your roots, about your ancestors about those who lived on this land, beautiful, pure, pure, pure, belarus , watch the project look at belarus, on the tv channel belarus 24. in minsk

state linguistic university, then the institute of foreign languages, you came when you were 16 years old . what was your institute like then? the institute was, if we talk about the physical side, one building , now known as building b, we had one english classroom, with several tape recorders, which we, where there were recordings that we could, so we had to sit in in this office, of course, it was impossible to even dream of such technical means and a foreign language as now. what achievements of your students are you proud of?

in all, i am very very happy and proud of those students who continued their studies in graduate school or even doctoral studies, wrote research papers, dissertations, i am proud of those of my students who began to give lectures and, moreover, became scientific supervisors themselves, each teacher chooses his own approach to student, what is special about your method? respect for for a student, i think this is the starting position from which communication with a student begins; the student will not forgive contempt, nor condescension, nor any other attitude other than respect. another thing is that in the process of communication, he may lose my respect,

being lazy and unscrupulous. and so on and so forth, which students do you enjoy working with? with smart people, of course, with smart people, but you can also train people who , say, are qualified, i emphasize the word qualified, not at all, this does not mean that they really are not smart, not capable and so on, but very often we see them and... describe them as, but if the teacher really masters his subject, understands it deeply, he is able to convey it simply and clearly, and if there is this clarity in the presentation of the material, then

this determines the ease in his understanding, well, with which ones... it’s more difficult, with non-parents, with non-parents, there is a student who doesn’t care when a person makes a mistake and continues to insist on it, this is an unhappy person, and his non-birth is rather a consequence, of course , language is a living organism, it is constantly changes how you maintain your professional level? i maintain my professional level by constantly reading, constantly participating in conferences where you have the opportunity to hear very, very original concepts, hear the most original ideas, in general, attending a conference, as i understand it, for me, it’s 2-3 months of working in the library , that is, there

is a huge... number of people gathered together in one space, in one time, you have the opportunity to get acquainted with their ideas, the teacher, he, he is like an artist, he is always in plain sight, this requires some large physical and some equal, moral costs, but how do you relax, in the forest, in the country, digging, if possible, in the beds. i enjoy walking in the woods near the lake and so on and so on and so on, but earlier until this year, it was of course a change somewhere, the environment, i’m not an urbanist at all, so as a rule i try to leave the city, but i i can’t imagine doing nothing,

relaxing on the seashore, i’m bored, but i can travel around the surrounding area, i generally love traveling, this in relation, i have traveled very, very much, our program is called the meaning of life, what is the meaning of life for you? and for me life is an activity, the direction of this activity, its main guidelines,
