THE ROLE OF THE COUNTRY STUDY ASPECT IN COMPILING THE CONTENT OF A READING TEXTBOOK

Abstract

The relevance of the work is determined by the importance and relevance of the linguo-cultural approach to the content of a reading textbook in order to consolidate students’ knowledge about the culture of the country whose language is being studied, as well as to eliminate cultural misunderstandings. The main goal of the work is to move away from traditional education, as well as focusing on the linguocultural aspect of the language when selecting the content of a reading textbook. To achieve the goal, a number of tasks are set, including consideration of the question of whether texts with cultural flavor are used in the content of reading textbooks in Iran. Currently, there are no such practical texts to strengthen students’ communication skills. For this reason, delimiting part of our proposed textbook in a cultural framework is another of our goals when compiling the content of a textbook on reading to Iranian learners. The theoretical significance of this study comes down to the inclusion of cultural information in the educational content of a textbook on reading in Russian for Iranian students who achieve positive practical results when communicating with native Russian speakers, including cultural understanding, as well as avoiding cultural misunderstandings and expanding communication skills. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that so far there has not been a similar study on compiling a textbook on reading with a cultural flavor. In conclusion, a general conclusion is made about the structure of the content of the textbook on reading for Iranian students that we propose.
