Teaching travel literature based on Afanasy Nikitin’s "Journey Beyond Three Seas" in Russian language classes
https://doi.org/10.30515/0131-6141-2025-86-6-7-17
Abstract
The article aims to show the logic of teaching travel literature in Russian language classes in the innovative format of a virtual tour using Afanasy Nikitin’s "Journey Beyond Three Seas". The main research methods are theoretical analysis when formulating the research problem, as well as methodological design and scientific methodological generalisation. The materials included the linguo-methodological concepts of using virtual tours in the process of teaching Russian. In addition, we employed philological concepts of understanding the travelogue as a literary genre and teaching travel literature as a speech genre, and so on. The main findings of the research indicate that the process of teaching travel literature can be an integral component in classes in Russian as a native language (in media classes and in humanities classes), as well as in lessons in Russian as a foreign language. Travel literature taught through a specific technology contributes to more effective development of all speech activity types and promotes learners’ personal growth.
