Phonetic visualisation: RUDN University philologist developed a manual for foreigners on learning Russian with the help of ultrasound
“For example, the opposition of hard and soft consonants, the sound [ы], ringing noisy consonants, affricates [ц] and [ч], as well as the sounds [ж] and [ш] cause the greatest difficulties. These errors can lead to misunderstandings: for example, the words ‘угол’ and ‘уголь’ sound almost the same to speakers of other languages. Traditional teaching methods, such as observing the lips and tongue in a mirror, are not always effective, as they do not allow you to see the internal movements of the language,” Svetlana Deryabina, Associate Professor of the Department of Russian Language and Teaching Methods at the Faculty of Philology of the RUDN University.
The RUDN University philologist has developed an innovative manual for learning Russian language using video ultrasound of the tongue. This method allows students to observe in real time how the tongue works when pronouncing sounds and syllables. Ultrasound recordings made with the Articulate Assistant Advanced programme show how the tongue moves when articulating vowel and consonant sounds, with special attention paid to syllables with hard and soft consonants. The manual helps not only foreign students, but also future Russian language teachers, allowing them to better understand the causes of errors and correct them more effectively.
The project to develop a cellular model of the placenta became the winner in the Scientific Materials category of the Young Scientists 3.0 competition, organized with the support of the Presidential Grants Foundation and T-Bank.
Ten scientific journals published by RUDN University have been included in the highest level of the state list of scientific publications, the White List.
Forests are not only the lungs of the planet, but also home to millions of species. However, it has remained unclear how underground interactions between trees and fungi affect forest species richness in different climatic conditions. Previous studies have yielded conflicting results: in some regions, the dominance of certain fungi reduced tree diversity, while in others it increased it.
