A study of the linguocultural field as a modern linguo-methodological technology

The article discusses the issue of modeling a fragment of secondary school students’ linguistic world picture as well as the formation of their linguistic personality in Russian language lessons through the application of an innovative educational technology, i.e., research into the linguocultural field of "victory". The study analysed scientific sources in conjunction with scientific generalisation, a survey of students in years 10–11, and content analysis of published essays by secondary school students. The authors reveal the scientific potential of the linguocultural field concept in linguistics, linguoculturology, and linguistic methodology. Moreover, the paper also justifies studying the linguocultural field as a modern linguo-methodological technology that promotes the formation of all levels of a student’s linguistic personality (verbal-semantic, cognitive, motivational-pragmatic). This technology implies a certain algorithm of learning activity (determined by the linguistic personality levels) ensured by modern methodological techniques. The article illustrates the potential of studying the linguocultural field as a modern educational linguo-methodological technology with the findings of the authors’ work with the linguocultureme victory. The results of secondary school students’ survey questionnaires and the content analysis of their essays have shown that the linguocultural field of "victory" is significant in their linguistic picture of the world. In addition, it is revealed that victory is a value dominating modern young Russians’ world picture.
