The article considers the method of discussion as one of the main ones in teaching foreign students. The paper raises a pedagogical problem related to the education of students who want to master the Russian language. To solve this problem, the following goals are set: the disclosure of the phenomenon of Pushkin's poetics through the use of the method of discussion; the formation of certain skills that contribute not only to literate speech in a foreign language, but also the possibility of using a discussion dialogue in all spheres of life. During the presentation of the material, lexical and grammatical exercises were presented, allowing for a reasoned discussion. Mastering such a significant skill gives students the opportunity not only to enter into a dialogue with the poetic creation of the Russian writer, but also helps to have a discussion conversation with themselves. The increasing activation of consciousness at the same time contributes to the formation of personality, which is the most important task of modern pedagogy as a science.

The article presents the prospects of an edusemiotic approach in teaching literature within the framework of philological education programs at a domestic university. The iconic approach to text analysis makes it possible to use the mechanisms of "natural semiotics" based on the principles of identifying iconic similarities within the framework of personal practical experience. For the interpretation and deciphering of literary texts, the authors propose the identification of relevant cultural codes, elements of dynamic semiotics (narrative moves, chronotope, motifs, intertextual structures), as well as a structural analysis of the rhythm of the text. This approach helps, as the results of experimental training show, to increase the interest and motivation of philology students, improve the quality of work on the text and the skills of comparative analogies.
