CURRENT APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IN SCHOOL

The problem of finding relevant approaches to the study of the Russian language in primary and secondary school is considered. The three educational approaches are pointed out as leading: cultural, axiological and active. Concepts of cultural approach are most efficiently implemented in a school course of studying Russian language. There are examples of training materials on Russian language alternative learning systems (“Planeta Znaniy” (planet of knowledge) and others). Cultural approach is working closely with the educational axiology. The question of the shortcomings of the formation of value attitude to the Russian language as a state language and as a language of international communication is raised. Language should be seen by students as a true life and national educational value, and for the teacher it is not only a subject of study, but also a key for civic education of pupils, professional work tool. The lack of exposure to active approach to language development in primary school is also shown. Practical language training is declared in the documents and training materials, at the same time there is lack of materials for the implementation of accurate, clean, clear and expressive speech for younger pupils, there are no practical tools for improving speech activity for teenagers. The task of teachers to address these challenges and current educational approaches is outlined.
