Abstract
<jats:p>The methodology of teaching the Russian language begins with the initial stage of education — learning the language by preschool and primary school children. The main teaching method is a practical approach. Psychological and pedagogical processes are closely related to the needs of society, which are based on the means of communication. These means, taking into account the linguistic characteristics of students, determine the choice of teaching methods. The methodology includes literary material, language skills, grammatical concepts, historical development of the language (including assimilation processes) and other elements of linguistic science. The methodology of teaching the Russian language intersects with pedagogy, psychology and philosophy, forming a scientific base through their interrelation.</jats:p>
