Abstract
Learning the intonation of a foreign language entails complex perceptive and productive processes mostly beyond the common awareness level. Its instruction demands a thorough understanding of its prosodic features and the appropriate ped¬agogical practices and resources. This paper reports the findings from a study of perceiving of EFL intonation by the speakers of tone (Chinese) and intonation (Russian) languages. The purpose of the research was to find out differences in understanding and recognizing of English intonation in context by the speakers of Russian and Chinese languages. The study consisted of six speaking classes conducted for four participants (two representatives of native speakers of each language group) with the use of various exercises, intonation awareness-raising activities and group discussions. The results reveal no unilateral dependence between success in perception of EFL intonation and the group of mother tongue.
