Abstract

It is known that the concept of the language, literature, and culture of any people originates from folklore and is reflected there. Folklore is a rich literary heritage of the people, the art of words, everyday life, and the pearl of the national culture. It contains a lot of information and information related to the national worldview. In today's era of globalization, the use of folklore models at the "Kazakh language" lesson can not only increase the vocabulary, richness of language, skills of word use, but also expand the cognitive horizons of students and become of great importance in the direction of national education in the question of how we can absorb and convey this spiritual heritage to young people.

 

The article will talk about the methodology of using Kazakh folklore in the process of teaching the state language – Kazakh. The possibility of using information related to folklore, exercises in reading, listening, pronunciation, and writing tasks of speech activity is discussed from the point of view of practical training.

During each lesson, students are told about the cognitive and educational aspects of folklore. Types of tasks with proverbs, sayings and riddles of folklore patterns can be used by converting them according to the topics in the standard program. This is due to the fact that these patterns of folklore are compact in size, rhythmic in pronunciation, and are easy to perceive by the language learner. The structure of proverbs and sayings is compact and simple, but the vocabulary, richness of the language, develops the student's horizons, expands the use of words, teaches expressive speech.

Unfortunately, the use of riddles, one of the small genres of folklore, has become rare recently. Therefore, in order to promote the rich national heritage  it is necessary to give more riddles in the lesson. Riddles develop the human mind, expand the student's worldview, enrich the language in the process of identifying the implied thought.

         At the “Kazakh language” lesson folklore samples obtained in connection with the text help to master the topic, reveal its content.
