Vladimir Shamanov ordered the cadets and teachers of the Ryazan Airborne School (RVDKU) to speak a foreign language one day a week

Commander of the Airborne Forces Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov told media representatives about a rather unexpected innovation in the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School. According to Shamanov, on Wednesday the whole military school will speak English. The commander of the Airborne Forces argued that the past international exercises, in which Russian paratroopers participated, showed the relevance of the command of a foreign language fighter. Shamanova quotes TASS:

As shown by the practice of international studies and the implementation of international tasks associated with the knowledge of this language. Therefore, Wednesday - this will be the day when the whole school will speak only English.

Why is it Wednesday (or Wednesday means not the day of the week, but the day of immersion in a foreign language), and what will happen to those who have difficulties with “daily” communication exclusively in English? - the general did not explain.

Shamans:

Therefore, the order. All five years we will be studying in a specialized school, as a rule, it will be English.

The initiative Shamanov found both supporters and opponents. Proponents say that a strong knowledge of a foreign language is already the norm for any person who graduates. Opponents believe that the officer (cadet) should own a foreign language, but in this case, he (the future officer) will not be helped by orders, but by an effective training program (course) that insures against excesses.

Well, if the guys from NATA "invite", they will probably drop by for an "internship".
According to experience, so to speak ... ours will work out on the English team: - stand, drop weapons, face the wall, lay hands on his head.
Well, to those guys in Russian: - do not shoot, I was forced to pick up a weapon, I am a simple worker, do not hit, I will say everything myself ...

Opponents believe that an officer (cadet) should know a foreign language, but in this case he (the future officer) will not be helped by orders, but by an effective training program (course), which insures against excesses.

For example, I just FOR! And I can say to opponents of such training if one speaks a foreign language one day a week BUT ALL DAY all the more use it to communicate on all issues not only addressing the authorities but also among themselves (cadets) can learn the language in this way as quickly as with purposeful study of it.
Here's an example: My wife recently started watching the Turkish TV series "The Golden Age" so the Russian translator speaks there with a delay and you can hear phrases in Turkish well. Having heard this, I began to jokingly communicate with her in Turkish. -Meraba, yardymedyn, hair, evet ... She began to puff up her eyes at me -How do you know so Turkish? And with the correct diction?
- My childhood was good, according to Super Chanel (there was such a cable channel in the dashing 90s) cartoons were constantly played in Turkish, and that's how I absorbed the Turkish spoken language absolutely without straining, I can even say with buzz

PS
What is interesting is the language learned in this way (simple communication), even without constant practice, is forgotten much more slowly than jagged at the university.

Shamans did not invent anything new. I just remembered the cadet when all Thursday, (please note!), We talked in German. True, history and geography were listened to and answered in * import *. That is why, at the end of training, upon graduation, we received a diploma of a military translator of grade 3.
Since 1973, I no longer had to systematically learn German, but what was laid in the cadet was enough for me to communicate in the Munich beer house in 2015. The waiter even asked where I served in Germany ... Alas, this was not!
Thanks to our cool lady (Pferde) as we called her among ourselves. But they taught us well !!!

It was interesting to listen to how you "talked" in German all evening, which later was enough only for a pub: two beers, thank you, one more beer ... This is the level of an interpreter already of grade 3! Lost time. Do not make me laugh.

how stupid, you come to a Russian school, and there everyone speaks English.
But doesn’t the students be taught to teach shamans the basics of management and commerce? In general, for the future officer, the main thing is to skillfully learn how to handle personnel and weapons, but with a potential enemy it is better not to learn the language, but to destroy it together with the language. And there are all kinds of foreign affairs negotiations, they exist for this ...

[rotmistr60]

on Wednesday, the entire military school will speak English

Shamans are right. It is necessary to apply one of the army principles: "If you do not know how, we will teach, if you do not want, we will force." And there will always be opponents. That is why, by order and no democracy. Army and democracy are not compatible.

P.S. Although not so. Shamanov is the right MUZHIK .......

[Lt. Air Force stock]

"but in this case he (the future officer) will not be helped by orders, but by an effective training program (course) that insures against excesses."
As for opponents, and the need for an intensive course. In order to speak a foreign language fluently, you need to immerse yourself in the language environment, but since cadets cannot do this, one such day once a week should help with practice.
Whatever the courses are good, it is usually one lesson every few days that has the opportunity to speak a foreign language, but where is the experience gained? Again, the opponents are instilling the old methodology when a student learns a foreign language for 11 years at school + 6 years as a student at the university, but does not know how to speak like that in the end.

[SibSlavRus]

Good practice, which is worth extending to all airborne forces (contract personnel). For they will be the first and at a sufficiently high quality level to be on the territory of a potential enemy, in his own language (priority is english, isn't it?) They will have to "communicate politely", alternating between "landing, not colloquial, but very convincing" dialect.
And if we recall (from our own experience) the peacekeeping operations of the Russian Airborne Forces in Former Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Kosovo (UNPROFOR, IFOR, SFOR, KFOR), then the knowledge of the local Serbo-Croatian and international English in the multinational peacekeeping forces greatly helped and facilitated understanding (especially knowledge local language :-)). And it’s very easy to learn these languages ​​in the medium of its carrier, but already having a fairly stable base.
For each unit performing a military-combat mission, after all, a translator from a military university cannot be harassed.

[ASK505]

Quote: SibSlavRus

very easy to learn these languages ​​in the medium of its carrier

Very easy ... And how do you imagine it? Have you tried it yourself? Empty talk at the amateur level. And nothing has changed. "Hyundai Hoh and Hitler Kaput".

[SibSlavRus]

I tried of course. I wrote in a comment that from my own experience. In three months or four, with the available base, he mastered almost all military terminology and features of expressions. Some of them had phrasebooks and dictionaries. And in the end, most of the Rusbats had a very good practice.
I will say more, on the other hand, the Russian language was very popular. Moreover, some officers (of the American army) studied it back then, in the early 1990s, in Kiev, which is already remarkable.

And the level of proficiency in the army is necessary not to reproduce the classics of literature in the original language of the author, but for completely other purposes. And for this and "conversational amateur", but in military terminology is enough. Classes in the field can be perfectly organized and carried out (for example, when cleaning weapons as part of a unit).

And, because you have such an inability to speak languages ​​... (judging by the sarcastic comment), then who is to blame?

We need to know the language of partners. An officer with a command of a foreign language will automatically increase self-respect, and in which case it will be of great benefit. And without immersion in the language environment, no courses will help, I was convinced from my own experience. He taught at school and in high school, and spoke only when he got into the situation when, besides English, he couldn’t use anyone else. Two weeks was enough, and where did that come from?

A funny decision, it’s probably even useful, though it’s not clear how it will be done locally)) I had one of the foreign teachers in the school, he spoke with all the students, even during breaks, spoke only English, it was informative ... the truth then with crazy uncle

[ARES623]

If an updated language teaching methodology is added to the order, the number of hours increases, the demand for academic performance increases, then we can expect positive results. I remember that for failure in physical training it was possible not to get on vacation, so they trained not for fear, but for conscience, and at night including. For six months, "sausages" began to fit into "oud", and by the summer - to "chorus" and "excellent" according to the basic standards. The main thing is to learn to speak the correct language, otherwise they will ossify in such a "hair dryer" that no Oxford can correct it.

The main condition for mastering a foreign language is language practice. And on Wednesday or on other days, this is really a matter of command and people planning the educational process.
It would be nice to recall the methods of studying foreign languages ​​of the Bulgarian scientist George Lozanov, providing accelerated learning of foreign languages.

[ASK505]

Quote: Aleksandr1959

The main condition for mastering a foreign language is language practice.

Language practice will never help you to understand speech by ear if you do not know the laws of sentence construction. Trying to speak without grammar is building a house without a foundation. If the goal is "my yours to go to the store", then go ahead with the song. A vivid example of such illiteracy is below in the memo from "polite people".

[Aleksandr1959]

About grammar. Take "English grammar in use" by Raymond Murphy, Camdbrige. These books are of different levels. Specially issued for international students studying in England. They are available electronically. I don’t know about these books, but ten years ago we studied in non-linguistic universities, where they gave a good knowledge of the English language. And in good English courses, this manual was one of the main ones.

Or will there be separate reinforced courses for them since the order is one for all?

[ASK505]

Shamanov forgot his level of German, for example, after school. 950 hours and a complete waste. Hyundai Hoh and Hitler Kaput. English is no better. A foreign language at school today is already an absurdity in the XNUMXst century, as a warrant officer among contract soldiers. More or less good conversational skills are obtained today outside school and university on ordinary courses. No one at school or at the university speaks or knew the spoken language, and textbooks are a continuous kaleidoscope and porridge.

[Vladimir 1964]

I haven’t read the comments, the polemic is probably terrible. If we discard the army mentality, then the idea itself is correct. Of course, it is necessary to organize all this methodically, but in any case, I myself need to know the language myself. The first time in Turkey was difficult, and we went there where there are fewer of our fellow countrymen, over the next year I trained a little, believe me there were no problems at all.

[bannik]

And for me, it’s better to teach cadets how to “teach” the Russian language.

[russmensch]

Strange, why did the training in the school fall so much? We had a foreign one in simple artillery and we went out with quite decent knowledge. Then they passed it upon entering the academy. Personally, I got a diploma as a translator at the school. True, all this was under the "damned Bolsheviks". After all, we were being prepared for war against the entire "democratic world". That's why Serdyukov destroyed all decent schools. He even encroached on Ryazan - thank God they defended it.

The guys were from different schools, but apart from "Hyundai Hoh" I have never heard anything worthwhile. Where are the translators from? Which side of the street to which?

[mikh-korsakov]

Each graduate is required to speak three languages: Russian, command and abusive. As for speaking in a foreign language, first of all, it should be decided how the cadet should contact the cadet: sir, Mr. (in English) or H. er (in German).

[Aleksandr1959]

And in the army, everything seems to be done on orders. And training programs are approved by orders. Training methods are also introduced by orders. It will be possible to imagine how it will be done, especially for those who have taught language in serious courses. I recall how we have a group of no more than four people in our company in three or four hours of English lessons (speaking only in English, clumsily, not clumsily, anyone like in the beginning it turned out) I was tempted more than in a working day.
I see no reason for laughing. Shamanov’s initiative would bring no harm other than benefit. For her, his graduates will still thank.
At first, it will come out clumsily, it can cause laughter in the cadets, then they will get used to the process, and there will be little environment. The main task of this "single day of a foreign language", as I understand it, is real language practice, the development of skills in the practical application of a foreign language.

Arctic fox ..

All mail is in angelic. The bosses are freaks (foreigners, in the sense .. we drove them like that).

After a couple of years, I easily traveled to Mexico (I can only use foul language in Spanish, but that’s another story), to steer the project ... rather big one ... the project was completed unsuccessfully. But - closed, there were no complaints about me.

Total: knowledge of a second language - does not harm nirazu. It can be useful, in combination of circumstances.

Something like that.

[Aleksandr1959]

Similarly. Only we have another six months arranged. And now part of the staff is learning the language at the expense of the enterprise, but not so massively. There are different things - to talk with English-speaking representatives, or with those foreigners for whom English is not native. But they are taught not in our example.

Total: knowledge of a second language does not harm even once. It can be useful, in combination of circumstances.

Absolutely agree. At least to explain to foreigners. And by the way, when the Spaniards came, they didn’t have English in the tooth, they were given an interpreter. I asked how they cost in other countries, and they adjusted a lot of equipment. It turns out in the Wild West Tuyva Hucha Latinos, and they are mostly Hispanic.

[Cat man null]

Quote: Aleksandr1959

And then

We have a lot of people working there. Swedes, Hungarians, there were a couple of English natives (they were laughing at first, when we just started talking), and also - attention - Indians .. this, I say, is a song of songs .. they each have their own English

And so - the Cubans studied at the institute with me. Also, when they just started to learn Russian, the rzhach stood incessant. One Cuban woman, for example, instead of "I have a big green pencil" wrote "I have a big green pencil" ..

There were still numbers when the Cuban and the Vietnamese (they were there too) begin to send each other somewhere in Russian ..

It was fun..

[Nehist]

You apparently poorly imagine the realities of our army! Oddly enough, before approving a particular order for a training program in the Armed Forces, this program is comprehensively rolled around. Immediately with kondochka. Or remind you of the order of a monarch? Just what the order of the commander in chief of the Airborne Forces recalls

[Aleksandr1959]

In fact, for twenty years of service, I hope that I recognized them well enough.
And second, are you sure that the journalists intentionally or not took the words of General Shamanov out of context?

Oddly enough, before approving a particular order for a training program in the Armed Forces, this program is comprehensively circled

Run in where? Why not in a military school training officers for the Airborne Forces.
Especially since the Soviet Army, the experience of studying in individual military educational institutions was. For example: the Red Banner Military Institute of the Moscow Region (now the Military University), the Kiev All-Arms Command School (training reconnaissance platoon commanders with knowledge of ... including the Chinese language.). And there was such a closed institution as the Academy of the Soviet Army.
One more thing. I have experience in language courses. Everything is not so simple .. everything is much simpler than you imagine. Under one, but a prerequisite, a person should want to learn a foreign language. Otherwise, all orders will be sideways.
You ask yourself a question. Do you want to learn a foreign language? If so, then I don’t understand such a biased attitude towards learning foreign languages ​​in the army. If not ... then everything is clear. Well, no ... and there is no trial. Before criticizing, one must have experience, in this case, learning a language. I have it. Although not in the army. And you?

In vain you are so pessimistic. You commented very well on the problem. Yes, this is not enough school training in foreign languages, and chaotic programs in foreign languages ​​for universities. But, if you do nothing, then this situation will continue.
Shamanov is trying to turn the tide.
By the way, about the Russian language, you also wrote very correctly. Literacy is poor. Up to the point that people do not check the grammar of the printed, at least with the help of a computer.
PS We often whine about what we are tired of, that we need to change something, but at the same time, apart from our whining, we do nothing.
If a person does not want to learn a foreign language ... or something else, then no "thematic" environments will force him to do it.

Far from delusional. Maybe from the point of view of training, it’s not very effective, but psychologically something is needed!

In terms of training too. In fact, this is an attempt to immerse a person in a linguistic environment. And let him try to talk clumsily and stutter at the beginning, but each time it will turn out better.

I would like to hear from the respected (otherwise - no way!) Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Airborne Forces command to all Western "opponents" of Russia: "Build for recycling !!"

The feeling does not leave that journalists could rip Shamanov's words out of the general context. And, as often happens, to give a slightly different semantic shade. Something I do not believe that Shamanov made such a decision from a bunch of flounders. It may well be that it is based on improving the process of teaching foreigners in military educational institutions. And there are not only "language environments".

[Wolka]

I support it, it’s a good initiative, it makes sense to spread it to other branches of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, including contract soldiers, it is equally useful to speak a colloquial language both in civilian and in the army, at least at the level of the 100 most common phrases and sentences ...

[Doctor Savage]

First, who will control them?

Second: if it is a day without classes, then - you can without straining to go through it with a small clip of conversational phrases.
And what about classes?
Teachers will still read them in Russian.

No, guys!
For a QUALITY SHIFT in mastery (to the extent of fluent) another approach is needed.
And I know which one.
