On the issue of studying proper names in the linguoculturological aspect in the lessons of Russian as a non-native language

Abstract

The article discusses the most effective methodological means of work when teaching proper names in Uzbek schools. It is insufficient to use only the linguistic aspect, presented in the current textbooks of the Russian language, it is important to use the linguoculturological approach in modern schools, since it is necessary to form schoolchildren’s cultural competence. The research uses such methods as question-naires, analyses and generalizations. We prove that the study of proper names in the linguoculturological aspect will contribute to the expansion of the linguistic and cultural outlook of Uzbek schoolchildren. The conducted research confirms the idea that anthroponyms and toponyms require more attention. The list of proper names, proposed by us, made it possible to draw the attention of Uzbek schoolchildren to outstanding figures of Russian science, culture and education. The names of the most famous cities, rivers, and lakes of Russia are also included in our list, which Uzbek schoolchildren got acquainted with in Russian lessons in grades 5-6 during the 2021-2022 academic year. The most effective method of work turned out to be mini-projects about proper names, which were carried out by students during the school year. We believe that the results of our study may be of interest for teaching Russian as a non-native language, as well as for postgraduate and undergraduate students of Russian.
