The practical aspects of application of certain methods used by teachers and tutors of Russian language and literature in educational institutions of the republic are discussed. The author concludes that the new content of education at Russian language and literature classes has increased the level of students' activity in mastering the subjects studied, which is due to the widespread introduction of methods and techniques of independent learning.
