Abstract

—The article considers problems of teaching and interpreting authentic literary texts in the history of Russian literature classes for non-native Russian speakers from the Central Asia region. The study describes criteria for selecting literary texts, including the culturological dimension. It is concluded that the teaching of Russian literature for non-native Russian speakers should consider the ethnocultural characteristics of students in connection with Russian as a foreign language in other literary disciplines in their educational program. The article also assumes that students from the Central Asia region demonstrate the ability to adequately perceive complex modernist authentic texts with rich cultural content, as they are characterized by a harmonious combination of personal values and high adaptability to the Russian cultural context.
