The relevance of this particular article is underlined by the arising need to analyze the problems and challenges that have emerged during the tuition of non-Russian speaking students on a distance, as well as the general situation in the Russian educational system, in which preparation for the new academic year largely depends on the experience gained on the previous schooling semester. Therefore, the purpose of the author in this work is to explore the available possibilities of online learning in Russia on various platforms, and come up with a practical set of tutoring exercises that can be used in this format. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of various platforms is made, their positive and negative sides are revealed in this article, as well as the parameters for choosing the most suitable working methods for practical use. The main problem showcased by the author, is that the majority of educators in Russia have never worked remotely, and the online format requires some difficult technological approaches. This process of learning in the most comfortable conditions for both the teacher and the students requires many levels, many of which are simply out of the reach of the teacher (for example, economic aspects), however, those that are purely technological are showcased in three stages of work at the preparatory faculty of Moscow State Pedagogical University (MSPU). One of these aspects is to perform as close as possible to a traditional classroom lesson – the lesson consists of a phased practice of speech skills using various interactive materials. In addition, the work considers a range of issues covering the organizational, methodological, didactic, psychological aspects of education, and also analyzes the complex issues of organizing educational activities in an online lesson in a student audience of levels A1 – B1. Another aspect would be the scientific research results, which include the most useful recommendations and samples of tasks for the development of different types of speech activity – speaking, listening, reading and writing. In the article author uses the following methods: theoretical – analysis of methodological literature and regulatory documents, forecasting results; practical – pedagogical observation, analysis, testing, modeling of the online learning process – to reveal the main problems and find the most effective ways to solve them when organizing distance learning for students. To increase motivation for learning the Russian language and relieve stress in a complex format of distance learning during testing, the author proposes to use various educational games while working online; describes some of the extracurricular activities carried out at the faculty during the period of distance learning. The materials of the article can be used in the preparation of practical classes at the preparatory faculties of universities.
