CHANGING THE CONTENT OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS ON THE EXAMPLE OF GRAMMAR MANUALS AS A MEANS OF FOSTERING PATRIOTISM

Abstract

The article suggests considering the possibility of changing the content of textbooks used to teach foreign languages to university students, with the emphasis on teaching grammar in order to make students aware of the history, culture, values and traditions of our country, which is the basis necessary to instill love and pride of their motherland and to encourage patriotic feelings. The changed political, geopolitical, and economic conditions in the world require rethinking approaches to working with the younger generation in the field of patriotic education. This topic has not been given due attention for a long time and has been almost neglected. Moreover, it was not even fashionable to be a patriot of your country in Russia. However, the modern agenda requires transforming and improving the methods of educational work to change attitudes and modality in the field of developing an active civic position. The educational materials such as textbooks, workbooks and manuals which are used in foreign language classes, in our opinion, represent a good means to achieve this goal.
