This paper focuses on the process of text interpretation. Analysing a text thoroughly and, consequently, showing one’s own ideas of its meaning becomes an artistic process. Hardly surprisingly then, people studying at the Drama Department of Saint Petersburg State Theatre Arts Academy are trained in interpreting texts creatively. So are, however, also the students at the Russian Language Department of University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. Text-based drama exercises as a means to improve one’s pronunciation of a foreign language is examined by Russian drama academies as a considerable number of their students are foreigners from all over the world. Similar text-based drama exercises, integrating role-playing with articulation practice, are used at the Russian Language Department to train the students’ correct Russian pronunciation.
