Abstract
The paper foregrounds the methodological legacy of K. B. Barkhin. Content analysis of articles both writ-
ten by and dedicated to the methodologist has revealed a range of issues that have not been adequately addressed and explored in methodology. This article aims to introduce K. B. Barkhin’s works on the issues of verbal culture and speech development methods into the broader research field, and to demonstrate the need for their further investigation and comprehension as being relevant to school practice. The author believes that the stylistic exercises developed by the methodologist and aimed at understanding the "aesthetics of the word" enrich teachers’ methodological toolkit. Moreover, their use is effective not only in Russian language lessons when teaching written speech. Such assignments are also beneficial in literature classes when analysing the language of a literary work and assimilating a set of theoretical-literary concepts associated with the figurative and expressive means employed in works of fiction (artistic speech). The article also examines the first university textbook on Russian language teaching methodology. Its chapters on the methodology of developing students’ speech were written by K. B. Barkhin. These materials are unique since they include questions related to different types of reading and working with books and other sources. The article states that one of the most important issues in the methodological legacy of K. B. Barkhin was studying and analysing international practices of teaching native language and literature (the Appendix to the article gives a list of the sources found). This part requires careful analysis because retrospective comparative studies can become a significant line of research in the national teaching methodology
