Creativity of Modern Russian Writers in Teaching Russian Language to Tajik High School Students: Theoretical and Practical Aspects

Abstract

In this article we are talking about the appeal in teaching the Russian language to the work of modern Russian writers who are known in Russia and abroad, when teaching the Russian language to Tajik high school students. As a work, the analysis of which can serve as an example for work in the lessons of Russian language and literature in a Tajik school, the story of Evgeny G. Vodolazkin “Kunstkamera in faces” was chosen. The article provides a rationale for its methodological value in teaching the Russian language, a linguistic analysis of the text is carried out, accompanied by tasks and exercises that are aimed at understanding the content of the text, at fixing the grammatical and lexical material used in it, and at developing students’ communicative skills. On this basis, it is recommended to work with the works of other contemporary Russian writers: Dina Rubina, Zakhar Prilepin. Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, Svetlana Mosova, Sergei Shargunov, Tatyana Tolstaya. The specific material presented is chosen taking into account the situation of the Russian language in the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic and in modern Tajikistan. It is emphasized that the use of literary texts in the Tajik school has a long tradition of referring to the work of classic writers of Russian and Soviet literature, which requires, however, the expansion of the studied material at the expense of the works of contemporary Russian writers. Obviously, the study of the works of the 21st century will contribute to the interested study of the Russian language by Tajik students, as well as to acquaint them with the modern culture of the Russian people.
