Annotation: The article explores the problem of forming a culture of peace among younger schoolchildren. According to the authors’ hypothesis, English lessons and the use of authentic texts in the form of comics contribute to forming a culture of peace among younger schoolchildren. Analyzing the scientific literature of both foreign and domestic researchers, the authors suggest that modern students in the age of digital technologies require a completely new approach in the presentation of information and lesson organiza- tion. Examining the latest data presented by Russian and foreign scientists on the perception of material in the form of comics and visual transmission of educational material, the authors relied on the study of preferences by modern students of small texts, where all emotions and sequences of actions are expressed in pictures. In their article, the authors describe the technology of using an authentic comic book, which has a high potential as a visual mate- rial for conducting foreign language lessons. The new generation of students prefers comics, which consist of short texts and pictures representing a real­life event. Analyzing the research of colleagues in the field of innovative teaching tools, the use of visual and textual perception of authentic comics, the authors, adhering to the meth- odological basis, identify a clear link between the assimilation of information through authentic comics and the principle of visibility in the educational process. In their article, the authors substantiate the need to use authentic short texts in the form of comics as a means of forming a culture of peace, which has long been recog- nized, described and analyzed and included in the educational pro- grams for schoolchildren in most countries and which is reflected in the Russian education standard and requires methodologically developed teaching tools.
