Linguistic and cultural content of teaching preschoolers the Tatar language in a multilingual developmental environment

Abstract

The languages, in which children are raised and educated become a tool, a condition and a factor in the formation of children’s worldview and their linguistic picture. It underlies the ethnocultural and national identification of the child in the future. The education system faces challenges related not only to the education and development of children, but also to the formation of an all-Russian civic identity, to the education of a person with linguistic and sociocultural competence, the one who respects the language, culture and traditions of the peoples of the Russian Federation. This idea permeates all normative acts concerning the content of education. Education is becoming a strategic tool for ensuring the linguistic and ethnocultural diversity of our country, a support for preserving the experience of intercultural and interreligious interaction of the peoples that make up the Russian nation. Multilingual education, whose linguodidactic system ensures the development of the child in the Russian and Tatar languages, makes it possible to take into account the national and cultural needs of the younger generation living in the region.

The article reveals the experience of introducing a linguodidactic system for teaching children the Tatar language in a multilingual environment, designed to ensure the formation of a child’s national language picture.
