Implementation of the communicative method in Russian language lessons in a Kyrgyz school

The article describes the implementation of the communicative method in teaching Russian as a second language. The communicative method is currently one of the effective methods of teaching language. It is aimed at developing the communicative competence of students. Communicative competence, in turn, includes linguistic, speech and sociocultural competence. The development of these components at the proper level indicates the formation of students’ communicative competence. The need to use the communicative method when teaching the Russian language in a Kyrgyz school is noted in the Subject Standard for the Russian language for grades 5-9 of general education organizations of the Kyrgyz Republic (for schools with Kyrgyz, Uzbek, and Tajik languages). As an example, an example of a lesson on the Russian language for the 8th grade of a school with the Kyrgyz language of instruction is given on the topic “Why do we study Russian. Coordinating communication” using the communicative method. Comments are given for each stage of the lesson.
