Abstract
Relevance. The research article explores the role of intercultural exchange in teaching folk poetry within an ethno-pedagogical context, aiming to optimize educational methods and deepen understanding of cultural heritage.
Purpose. The study aims to identify methods and strategies for integrating intercultural exchange into the educational process, in the context of studying folk poetry, to optimize educational methods and deepen understanding of cultural heritage.
Methodology. A double survey was conducted, and a set of events was organised for students of the J. Balasagyn Kyrgyz National University. The total number of participants was 100, aged 18-25, including both men and women.
Results. A preliminary survey showed that students were interested in studying folk poetry. The set of events allowed the students to get to know the poetry of the Kyrgyz people and other cultures. The results of the second survey revealed a significant improvement in the understanding and appreciation of intercultural interaction among students after they participated in the activities. These data indicate a positive impact of these activities on fostering tolerance and openness to differences, which demonstrates their effectiveness in promoting mutual understanding and respect for cultural pluralism. The comparative analysis of the Kyrgyz poetic epic Manas and the German epic Song of the Nibelungs emphasizes the importance of cultural values and traditions in shaping poetic style and perception of poetry in different cultural contexts.
Conclusions. In general, the results of the study confirm that the use of various methods and approaches in teaching folk poetry contributes to the development of cultural literacy, creative thinking and intercultural understanding of students, as well as promotes the preservation and transmission of the cultural heritage of various ethnic and cultural groups.
