Experience in Creating the Encyclopedia Called “Hello, Russian World!” for Children from Foreign Culture

Abstract

Aim. To present the results of the work done in selecting material and writing a linguistic and cultural encyclopedia for preschool and primary school children with a migration history.

Methodology. In the process of writing, a comprehensive methodology was used, which is applicable in linguoculturology and linguistic and regional studies, and includes two main areas: linguistic, which aims to analyze linguistic units and identify their national and cultural content, and methodological, where language learning is directly linked to the study of cultural traditions and the history of a country.

Results. The structure of the encyclopedia “Hello, Russian World!” is presented, which is intended to familiarize children of a foreign cultural environment of preschool and primary school age with key aspects of Russian state symbols, history, and culture.

Research implications. The practical significance of the encyclopedia is determined by the possibility of using its materials in teaching Russian to non-Russian-speaking children, Russian literature, and traditional values of Russian culture, as well as fostering a respectful attitude towards them.
