The article is one of the first attempts to describe the didactic potential of the Russian virtual voice assistant Alice (Yandex company) for classes of Russian as a foreign language. The study describes in detail the benefits of using the Russian voice assistant Alice, the communicative opportunities of this intellectual assistant for classes of Russian as a foreign language. The paper provides a brief analysis of the capabilities of analogue foreign voice-controlled programs, on the basis of which the advantages of the domestic development in relation to the techniques of teaching Russian as a foreign language are identified and substantiated. The authors also describe the system of tasks “Conversations with Alice” developed by them for the initial stage of language learning (level A1) and the results of testing this system among foreign students at the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia.

Researchers and educators traditionally consider pedagogical agents as animated talking “heads” embedded in the educational computer programs that help to deliver the multimedia content or engage students in the learning process. However, the authors of this research define the pedagogical agent as a character of any kind (video-, cartoon-character, or even a non-interactive book-character) that helps students to learn. The educational function is the crucial feature of any pedagogical agent, according to authors. Thus, in this article, they describe the different types of pedagogical agents they have created and used in teaching language, particularly Russian as a foreign language for the last 15 years of their work. Any teacher can quickly implement most of these pedagogical agents’ types in his/her lessons since they do not require the knowledge of programming and computer design. The pedagogical agents described by authors in this research have proven their efficiency during the experimental training in multinational and diverse level groups of international students who studied the Russian language at RUDN University (Moscow, Russia). Keywords: Teaching foreign languages, teaching Russian as a foreign language, teaching and learning tools, and pedagogical agents.
