Improving the content and quality of educational resources plays an important role in modernising the education system and enhancing its effectiveness. In this regard, with the aim of improving the quality of education in the country's general secondary schools, as well as developing students' language proficiency and communicative skills, a new Russian Language textbook for Grade 12 students was published in 2026 by the Turkmen State Publishing Service. The textbook was authored by O. Pirliyeva, V. Akhundova, G. Khajimuradova and O. Starova. This new publication represents an important teaching and learning resource designed to enrich the content of Russian language instruction, deepen students' theoretical knowledge and further develop their practical language skills.

The textbook aims to further develop students’ linguistic, speaking and communicative competencies, improve their oral and written language skills, and strengthen their interest in the Russian language and literature.

The textbook consists of six thematic sections covering 64 lessons. It provides opportunities for students to review and deepen their knowledge of phonetics, vocabulary, morphology, spelling and syntax, while exploring different types of sentences and the structural features of texts.

Particular attention is given to literature, moral and spiritual values, patriotism, friendship, love, respect for one's homeland, appreciation of work and career choices. The textbook includes literary works by prominent Turkmen and Russian writers and poets, helping students broaden their horizons and become familiar with the rich literary heritage of both nations.

This new educational publication is expected to serve as an important teaching and learning resource, contributing to the improvement of Russian language instruction and the overall quality of the educational process in senior grades of secondary schools in Turkmenistan.
