Keyword: «the problem of bilingualism»

The article considers the actual problem of national-Russian bilingualism and the ways of its development, taking into account bilingualism as a factor of human spiritual wealth and the enhancement of linguistic culture. The author pays special attention to the linguistic picture of the world, in which bilingualism is being formed and the essence of the spiritual values of a person influencing her inner world is emphasized. The analysis of the qualities that reveal the value of the reality of a bilingual person in a philosophical sense allows the author to conclude that the adaptive potential of people who speak two languages can be used in an educational environment as an effective model for the development of a spiritual and moral personality in a multicultural space. The theoretical conclusions of the study are based on the practical activities of a scientific laboratory operating in a branch of the Stavropol State Pedagogical Institute in Yessentuki and dealing with bilingual children from urban schools and kindergartens.
