| Description | Creativity development in foreign language teaching means a good opportunity for students to effectively build language competences and increases the motivation for learning. The practical examples of learning Russian derive from folklore materials (songs, tales, etc.) and also from current matters, which represent the spiritual culture (films, poems, etc.). Besides increasing the level of foreign language knowledge, students are extending their familiarity of facts (realia) during the creative language games. In this paper we describe the recent findings in the field and propose possible directions for future research. |
