The article examines the issue of updating the socio-cultural potential of the region through the prism of students’ project activities in a foreign (English) language. Using a specific example of a 6th grade student’s project to create a travel brochure about the Ryazan region, the mechanisms of integrating local history content into the process of foreign language education are analyzed. The author proves that such projects not only form communicative foreign language competence, but also perform a significant educational and career guidance function, contributing to the development of regional identity, civic responsibility and popularization of the cultural heritage of the small homeland. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the choice of attractions (Paustovsky Trail, the Sky of Russia Festival, Ryazan Kremlin, Staraya Ryazan, Kasimov, Skopin) as representatives of the multifaceted socio-cultural potential of the region.

The article examines the transformation of the linguistic “self” among university students under conditions of systematic use of generative artificial intelligence tools in foreign language learning. Empirical data reveal a paradoxical gap between objective academic performance and the subjective sense of communicative competence, accompanied by increased foreign language anxiety and the development of impostor syndrome. Based on survey and in-depth interview results (N=30), the mechanisms of linguistic personality fragmentation, algorithmic dependency, and erosion of authorial responsibility are identified. A model of conscious AI integration into the educational process is proposed, including a structured independent work algorithm for students and methodological recommendations for teachers aimed at preserving the authenticity of speech activity and fostering a stable linguistic identity.
