Abstract

This paper describes a methodology for cultivating one's reading abilities and skills of analyzing literary texts which has been developed and tested as part of the operation of a school for migrant children set up at the Evsev'ev Mordovian State Pedagogical Institute. As a result of their comprehensive examination of existing research into the issue and based on the findings from their own research, the authors identify a total of 3 stages in putting together a technology for assisting minor non-native learners in mastering reading. The paper shares the results of running an experimental class, describes the stages in the process of cultivating reading competence in migrant children, and cites the key components of the pedagogical model under implementation, including the provision by student philologists of tutoring support toward teaching children in the migrant school and the testing at the Advisory Educational Center of programs for enhancing the qualifications of instructors working in polycultural classes. The proposed learning technology is aimed at enabling migrant children to successfully master an adapted curriculum in Russian Literature and adapt socioculturally into the Russian educational space. © 2018.
