Abstract
The article discusses issues associated with teaching vocabulary at school on a systematic and thematic basis. It is proposed to use thematic dictionaries in order to generalize the results of vocabulary analysis during Russian language and literature lessons for Russian-speaking students. Principles underpinning the selection of vocabulary for such dictionaries are characterized. Using an example of the keyword glaza (Eng. eyes, thematic group «Human appearance»), the formation of the static and dynamic parts of a dictionary entry is shown. The study was conducted using a content analysis of research and methodological literature devoted to the problem of teaching vocabulary on a thematic basis. Among other research methods were a thematic and semantic analysis of vocabulary, as well as a quantitative analysis of the results of the selection of vocabulary for a thematic vocabulary.
