Abstract

This paper looks into the possibility of employing immanent modeling in teaching Russian literature to migrant children. The authors describe a methodology developed and tested as part of the operation of a weekend school for migrant children run by the Evsevev Mordovian State Pedagogical Institute. The methodology helps stimulate thinking activity, engendering multiple comparisons and juxtapositions with one's knowledge acquired earlier, and facilitate the development of one's creative abilities and cultivation of one's aesthetic taste. Working with a literary text implies gaining a full understanding of it via a special system of assignments aimed at cultivating in migrant children the ability to read a literary text carefully and try to get a good grasp of it, reflect on the meaning of various words, and compare the objects, deeds, events, and realities described in the text with those forming part of their sociocultural knowledge acquired as part of the process of getting to know their home culture. The paper outlines the findings from an experimental learning project and describes some of the key components of the pedagogical model proposed by the authors. The proposed learning technology is aimed at ensuring the proper assimilation by migrant children of an adapted curriculum on Russian literature and their successful sociocultural adaptation into the Russian educational space. © 2018.
