The article introduces the use of authentic everyday situation texts for middle school students at Armenian schools. It contains specific examples of game activities for authentic texts in accordance with communicative situations and the language knowledge. The author emphasizes the entertaining nature of the post-reading tasks, which provide students with active speech practice and contribute to the development of communicative skills, as well as increase motivation. Authentic texts are presented as a tool that not only enriches the students’ background knowledge, introduces the culture of other people, but also allows them to develop skills and abilities to work with information, create their own texts and present them to the audience. The relevance of the topic is associated with the use of non-educational texts in the framework of game content for the school audience.

The importance of secondary school students’ proficiency in universal learning activities (ULA), including functional literacy, in order to socialize successfully makes the search for appropriate means relevant. However, it is no less important to diagnose the formation of ULA and identify problems within their acquirement. Understanding the importance of this problem led to the idea of using existing pedagogical methods in teaching the Russian language paying attention to their adaptation. The purpose of the article is to show how existing methods can be adapted in order to be used in the formation and assessment of the logical ULA during Russian language lessons. The study was based on the methods of analysis and synthesis when describing the problem of formation and assessment of ULA among schoolchildren; in the development of diagnostics – on the methods of analysis, abstracting, and constructing. In addition, a systemic method was used. Statistical data of the conducted research and their interpretation are presented to substantiate the need for the creation and adaptation of methods for the ULA formation and assessment. The study reveals the pedagogical diagnostic methods, which, with a certain adaptation, can be used for the logical ULA formation and assessment during teaching the Russian language. The research presents the adapted methods, which will allow organizing systematic work on the formation of logical ULA for secondary school students when studying the “Lexicology” section and assessing their formation among schoolchildren.

The article presents the results of a directed associative experiment carried out with high school students of secondary schools. The purpose of the article is to reveal the relationship between the structural and semantic features of the utterance and the strategies of the respondents’ choice of a linguistic sign (word/abbreviation) in the context of a directed associative experiment. The analysis of the experimental material made it possible to draw conclusions about the peculiarities of using the initial abbreviation as an associate; about the possibility of the abbreviation of stable and individual, situational associative links; about the strategies for choosing a linguistic sign (words, abbreviations, phrases) depending on the semantics of the reference word and the type of grammatical structure of the experimental sentence; on the consolidation of initial abbreviations in the linguistic consciousness of native speakers of the Russian language, which is associated with the strengthening of the law of economy of linguistic means in modern speech communication.

This fact determines the work as practice-oriented: the authors of the article make an attempt to formulate and propose their own topics of projects and researches in Russian lessons within project-research activity in accordance with the feasibility and expected substantive studying outcomes. In the course of the work, with the aim of a comprehensive analysis of the indicated issue at different stages, general scientific methods were used: the method of continuous sampling; systematization and generalization; observation, analysis, classification, descriptive-analytical method; modeling method, which altogether have provided a full picture. Among the most significant results of the study, the author’s development of themes and a construct (algorithm with development and description) of the project-research activity of 5-7 grades schoolchildren within the modern directions of linguistics with possible subsequent implementation in Russian lessons and/or in extracurricular activities as a way to achieve a fairly wide range of substantive studying outcomes is showed up. The work’s resulting outcomes determine the practical significance of the research: the research materials can be used in the Russian language classes, in the organization of research activities for middle and high school students, in the development of special courses and special seminars, in the compilation of textbooks on relevant subject. The work concludes the next: the topic matter of project-research activity should be reasonable, appropriate for children’s age in order to increase students’ interest in learning and participation in project-research activity. It is especially important to ensure that they can understand its structure: their own goals in this activity, possible methods of solutions, etc. It is also important that students can search for information on their own, present their project or its fragment, etc.

One of the last interviews given by Andrey Bitov, often considered a founder of Russian Postmodernism, before his death. His books are a symbiosis of knowledge (of history, culture, and literature) and play, which is perceived as the driver of alternating meanings constantly undergoing a transformation. The idea behind the conversation was not only to clarify the questions left unanswered upon the reading of Bitov’s epic Empire in Four Dimensions [ Imperiya v chetyryokh izmereniyakh ] and other books, but also to identify the foundations of the writer’s views. In one of his last interviews, Bitov discussed his vision of Russia’s imperial identity and Russian mentality, the Soviet regime and the Soviet period, Stalin’s role in history, his attitude to the West, the Russian language, secrets of his books and his favorite authors. Bitov reminisced about his trips to the Soviet republics of Georgia and Armenia, as well as his friendship with R. Gabriadze and G. Matevosyan. The writer offered his original vision of the development of Russian literature in the 19th c. in light of his fascination with astrology.
