Abstract

The article examines the possibilities of using game-based activities in the process of developing the ethnolinguocultural competence of 5th-grade students during Russian as a Foreign Language lessons in Uzbek schools. The significance of the ethnocultural component in teaching Russian as a foreign language is analyzed, and the pedagogical potential of game technologies aimed at developing students’ linguistic, communicative, and cultural skills is revealed. Special attention is paid to didactic games as an effective means of increasing motivation to learn Russian, developing intercultural interaction, and fostering respectful attitudes toward another nation’s culture. The article provides examples of game-based tasks focused on studying Russian everyday life, traditions, and holidays.
