On the Issue of the Formation of a Lexical Minimum in Russian as a Non-native language.

The article describes the problem of creating a lexical minimum when teaching Russian as a non-nativelanguage. In connection with the standardization of language education, the issues of developing and updating the lexical minimum for Russian as a non-nativelanguage are quite acute, since the lexical minimum serves as the main basis for creating textbooks and educational materials. The article defines the lexical minimum in the scientificand methodological literature, describes the principles of its creation,and provides examples of work on the lexical minimum by Russian scientists and researchers in the field of Russian as a foreignlanguage. The work on the development of a lexical minimum for the Russian language as a non-nativelanguage will allow regulating the dynamics of the development of the vocabulary of students and determiningthe lexical component of the content of language teaching.

Time to transfer: Long-term effects of a sustained and spiraled content literacy intervention in the elementary grades.

We investigated the effectiveness of a sustained and spiraled content literacy intervention that emphasizes building domain and topic knowledge schemas and vocabulary for elementary-grade students. The model of reading engagement intervention underscores thematic lessons that provide an intellectual structure for helping students connect new learning to a general schema in Grade 1 (animal survival), Grade 2 (scientific investigation of past events like dinosaur mass extinctions), and Grade 3 (scientific investigation of living systems). A total of 30 elementary schools (N = 2,870 students) were randomized to a treatment or control condition. In the treatment condition (i.e., full spiral curriculum), students participated in content literacy lessons from Grades 1 to 3 during the school year and wide reading of thematically related informational texts in the summer following Grades 1 and 2. In the control condition (i.e., partial spiral curriculum), students participated in lessons in only Grade 3. The Grade 3 lessons for both conditions were implemented online during the COVID-19 pandemic school year. Results reveal that treatment students outperformed control students on science vocabulary knowledge across all three grades. Furthermore, intent-to-treat analyses revealed positive transfer effects on Grade 3 science reading (ES = .14), domain-general reading comprehension (ES = .11), and mathematics achievement (ES = .12). Treatment impacts were sustained at 14-month follow-up on Grade 4 reading comprehension (ES = .12) and mathematics achievement (ES = .16). Findings indicate that a content literacy intervention that spirals topics and vocabulary across grades can improve students' long-term academic achievement outcomes.
