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.
