Аннотация

Modern teaching of the Russian language in the context of digitalization and changing educational standards requires the renewal of the teacher’s methodological toolkit. This article examines current methodological approaches that contribute to increasing student motivation, developing functional literacy, and enhancing communicative competence. Particularattention is paid to interactive, activity-based, and digital technologies, theintegration ofinterdisciplinary connections, and thedevelopment ofcritical thinking. Keywords:critical thinking, digital technologies, motivation,interactivetechnologies. 1.Activity-Based LearningApproach One of the leading principles of the Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) is the activity- based approach focused on forming universal learning activities. In Russian language lessons, thisis implemented through: - posing problem-based questions (e.g., "Can spelling mistakes be considered speech violations?"); -project and research activities; -role-playing and business games (e.g., "newspapereditorial office", "trial ofaspelling error"). Theseforms help develop students’logic, independence, and responsibility. 2.Interactiveand DigitalTechnologies Modern educational platforms (Yandex Textbook, Russian Electronic School, Skyes, Quizlet, LearningApps) enable: -individualized learning; -instantfeedback; -gamification (quizzes, quests, onlineolympiads); -development of digital literacy. Additionally, tools like Padlet, Miro, and Google Jamboard support collaboration and student engagement. 3.DevelopmentofFunctional Literacy page1188 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue05,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai Functional literacy includes the ability to apply language knowledge in real communication situations.Effectivetechniques include: -analyzing media texts; -working with instructions, announcements, and letters; -composing surveys, reviews, and essays. Thesetasks teach students to navigateinformation flows andapply knowledge practically. 4.Critical Thinkingand Reflection Developing critical thinking is akey component ofcross-curricular outcomes. Samplemethods: -“Thick and Thin Questions”technique; -Bloom’s Cubes; -INSERT reading strategy; -PMImethod (Pluses, Minuses,Interesting) for analyzing linguisticphenomena. Reflective practices (student journals, feedback sticky notes, digital surveys) help learners recognizetheirachievements and areas for growth. 5.Interdisciplinary Links andContextualization Including interdisciplinary themes (science, history, art) allows students to see the Russian language as part of aholisticworldview. For example: -analysis ofhistorical speeches (integration with history); -study ofspeech genres inliterature; -syntacticanalysis ofpoetry (integration withmusicand literature).
