Abstract
This study is relevant due to the widespread popularity of the travelogue genre in modern media and the insufficiently understood linguo-methodological potential of travel literature in Russian language teaching. The main methods employed in the study included theoretical analysis (to formulate the research problem), scientific methodological generalisation, and methodological design. The paper examines specific aspects of travel literature content and structure, as well as its linguistic and speech features which enable the comprehensive achievement of personal, meta-disciplinary, and subject-related learning outcomes in Russian language teaching in an integrated manner. The article systematically presents the linguo-methodological potential of the travelogue demonstrating its potential for modeling textual activity in teaching travel literature in Russian language classes.
