AN INTEGRATED APPROACH IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE LESSONS: INTERDISCIPLINARY CONNECTIONS

Аннотация

This article analyzes the importance of an integrated approach to teaching the Russian language and how it can be implemented in an interdisciplinary context. An integrated approach, that is, a method of teaching the language in several subjects at the same time, allows students to learn the Russian language not only as a separate subject, but also in connection with other areas (mathematics, history, geography, etc.). The article describes in detail the advantages of such an approach, its ability to encourage students to think more broadly, its effectiveness in the practical application of the language, and how to implement interdisciplinary connections in the lesson. It also examines the methodological and didactic foundations of an integrated approach, its impact onthecognitivedevelopment ofstudents. Keywords: language teaching methodology, teaching methods, interdisciplinary approach, cognitivedevelopment, didactics, student activation, practical application Introduction: In the modern education system, there is an increasing demand for innovative methods to expand students' knowledge and develop their level of thinking. In particular, the importance of an integrated approach in teaching Russian as a foreign language is great. This approach, i.e., interdisciplinary connection, is considered an effective method aimed at updating traditional methods in language teaching and creating opportunities for students to practically masterknowledge. In an integrated approach, the language learning process involves not only mastering grammar, but also combining different subjects, allowing students to learn the language in connection with other areas. For example, by adapting other subjects such as history, geography, literature to the language, students learn to practically apply it in the process of mastering the language, use it in communication,and gain broaderknowledge. At the same time, an integrated approach makes it easier for students to perceive knowledge as a whole, develop analytical thinking, and understand interrelated knowledge. It also allows teachers to conduct lessons more interesting and effective, because such an approach encourages studentsto actively participate and express theiropinions. The article analyzes the methodological foundations of the integrated approach in Russian languagelessons, its impact on students, methods for implementing interdisciplinary connections, and the advantages of this approach. This article serves as an important scientific and methodological resource for searching for effective approaches to teaching the Russian language, improvingtheteaching process, and providing students with morepractical skills. Main part: The integrated approach, that is, the methodology of studying several subjects at the same time, is one of the effective methods aimed at developing students' multidimensional thinking in the modern education system. In this approach, a subject, for example, the Russian language, is taught in combination with other subjects. The goal is to provide students with the opportunity not only to learn one language, but also to acquire knowledge and skills in other areas usingthis language. Themain principles of theintegrated approach are as follows: https://ijmri.de/index.php/jmsi volume 4,issue4,2025 192 Interdisciplinary connection: Students are explained the interrelationship of each subject, which creates an opportunity for them tosolveproblems ina comprehensive way. Subject integration: Generalization and deepening of knowledge by teaching different subjects, forexample, Russianlanguage, history, geography or literature, ina way that connects them. Practical and skills development: Students master several subjects at the same time through practical tasks. The following methods and tools are effectively used to implement interdisciplinary connection inRussian language lessons: Interactive connection of subjects: For example, when studying topics in geography or history in Russian language lessons, students are involved in discussing geographical places or historical events in Russian. Problem-based tasks and situational exercises: Teach students to communicate through real-life situations, such as traveling, exploring cultural differences between countries, and covering topicsin Russian. Project work: Integrate different subjects through essays written in Russian or group project work, such as presenting a historical event or cultural phenomenon inRussian. Interdisciplinary approach: Integrating Russian language lessons with other subjects to provide students with more knowledge. For example, teaching literature and language in an integrated manner, encouraging students toread poems, stories, or dramaticworks inRussian. There are several positive aspects of an integrated approach: Generality of knowledge: The connection between several subjects ensures a further expansion of students' knowledge. The student uses the language he has learned in the framework o
