Abstract
The article discusses issues related to the changing role and status
of the Russian language in Georgia. It notes that the political, economic
and social processes in Georgia have largely influenced the process of
commodification of the Russian language and its transformation into a special communicative resource. On the other hand, commodification,
at this historical stage, contributes to resumption and strengthening of
interest in studying the Russian language in Georgia.
Firstly, the definition of Georgia’s language policy plays a crucial role
in creating a national identity. Currently, Russian language instruction in
Georgia has an artificial educational nature due to the lack of a natural
need for Georgian-speaking students to communicate in Russian.
The consciously communicative nature of Russian language training
brings to the forefront the requirement of its practical orientation. Its
realization manifests itself in the study of the Russian Language as a
living, developing phenomenon closely connected with the changes in
the Russian government’s socio-political, economic and cultural life.
The usage characteristics of the Russian Language in traditional
tourism arouse attention as Russian tourists show an increasing interest
in the cultural values of Georgia.
Over the past decades, the number of Russian speakers has
noticeably decreased in Georgia, and the Russian Language has lost
its position in the education system. Naturally, Georgian students’
passion to learn Russian has changed. Interest in the Russian Language
is growing in Georgia thanks to Russian tourists and the fact that they
are actively purchasing real estate here. All the mentioned above opens
up new opportunities for popularizing the Russian Language in Georgia.
From this point of view, the following thought by Y. Prokhorov is of
interest: “Language is a commodity. As a philologist, I understand that
Language is the treasury of culture, and I do not need to be convinced
of this. However, as a person who teaches Russian to foreigners, I know
I have a client.
Language is a profitable commodity for them, and I, a philologist,
must convince my client that I will teach them the Language to their
advantage at a particular time. For a long time, we have presented the
language as an ideology or an introduction to culture in the highest
sense of the word... Let us proceed from simple reality simple: the more I teach people the Russian Language, explaining how it benefi ts them,
the better it will be for the Language [Прохоров, 2009, 5].
The demand for the Russian Language in tourism allows Russian
language teachers to create new modern Russian language courses
(including online) and textbooks of a new type.
