Abstract

The methodology of teaching the Russian language as a science has a little more than one hundred and fifty years of its existence, if we take as the beginning of its emergence the fact of the publication in 1844 of F.I.Buslaev's work "On Teaching the Russian Language", in which the previous experience of teaching Russian was first generalized language, the personal experience of an outstanding scientist methodist, as well as outlined the ideas and principles on the basis of which, according to F.I.Buslaev, the teaching of the Russian language was to be built. F.I. Buslaev’s work consists of two parts: the first is devoted to the issues of domestic and foreign didactics, the second - to the theory and history of the Russian language and stylistics. The scientist considered the main methods of teaching a language to be explanatory reading, grammatical teaching, writing exercises, the development of students' speech, a meaningful perception of the laws of the development of the Russian language.
