Abstract

The article considers a problem of forming cultural competence in students at Russian language lessons through orientation to the real development of students in the aspect of familiarization with the national and international culture. It is covered in detail how pupils of the 11th grade get acquainted with the Shor heroic legend “Kan Pergen” in Russian lessons. The article describes the process of teaching about the culture, which proceeds in the dialogue between the Russian and Shor through the mutual enrichment of new knowledge about Shor folklore. It is confirmed that in such a way, the language and the culture are viewed in close relationship in terms of fostering pride in their native land, small homeland, rich historical past. It is concluded that when high school students get acquainted with the heritage and culture of the Shor heroic tale in Russian lessons, children’s pride in the culture of their people, its rich history, uniqueness increases. This feeling contributes to the attraction of students to the actual real activity, thereby the implementation of the cultural approach in education takes place.
