Educational Potential of Linguistic Research Tasks for Younger Schoolchildren

The article reveals the features of linguistic research tasks as a means of achieving different types of educational results: subject, meta-subject and personal. The characteristics of research tasks constructed as a system of tasks organizing the main stages of children’s linguistic research are substantiated: problem situation; awareness of a cognitive issue; building hypotheses; application of methods used in linguistic science (observation, classification, language experiment); presentation of a report (verbal or graphic). The possibility of using this model for the development of research linguistic tasks in extracurricular work with primary schoolchildren is shown. Examples of such tasks are given.
