At the present stage of the modernization of the educational environment, general education institutions focus on improving the quality of the educational process and the effectiveness of learning a foreign language. In connection with the introduction of modern trends, the use of teaching methods for organizing productive learning of a foreign language sets a number of tasks for a modern teacher. Solving these tasks, children's activities will be caused not only by comfortable perception and memorization of new information, but also the ability to apply the gained knowledge in practice with the help of the lexical aspect of the language. The purpose of the study was to introduce into the process of teaching the work with artistic material in the form of verses and songs, which would contribute to the implementation of personal-activity and communicative approaches at English classes in the secondary school. The theoretical analysis and synthesis of Russian and foreign literature on the topic of research, the pedagogical observation and analysis of Nursery Rhymes which allowed us to find out the peculiarities of the vocabulary of books and the possibility of their usage in general education institutions were chosen as a scientific method. As a result, tasks for work with songs and poems were looked through and analyzed, and also features of the formation of a lexical aspect, which plays the role of a generator of passive learning vocabulary, were identified.
