| Annotation: | The article addresses the relevant issue of organizing lexical material in teaching Russian as a foreign language using the frame-based method. This approach involves systematizing lexical units based on frames – thematically organized structures that include key slots and associated lexemes. Such organization not only facilitates better memorization and reproduction of vocabulary but also helps foreign students develop a holistic understanding of communicative situations and the sociocultural realities of the Russian-speaking environment. The aim of the study is to justify and develop principles for selecting lexical units for educational frames that reflect both linguistic and cultural features of the Russian language. The article highlights five key principles: typology, relevance, authenticity, anthropocentrism, and the consideration of the linguistic and cultural component. Special attention is given to incorporating the linguistic-cultural component, which allows adapting educational material to the realities of Russian life and cultural traditions. In practice, these principles were implemented in creating an educational frame on the topic “Russian national dish ‘Okroshka’.” Learners not only studied the relevant vocabulary but also interacted with material culture objects, which activated various perception channels and strengthened associative links. Results of the post-frame survey showed that 78% of students successfully mastered the presented lexical material, demonstrating an understanding of both linguistic and cultural aspects. Thus, the frame-based method combined with a linguistic-cultural approach enables the creation of an effective teaching model that contributes to the formation of intercultural competence. The methodological recommendations presented in the article may be useful for developing educational materials for different language proficiency levels, taking into account the interests and needs of foreign language learners. | ||
