Materials and methods. General scientific and general didactic methods were used in the work: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation, descriptive and empirical methods.

Results and discussion. The Russian language and native (Russian) language workbooks developed by a group of authors were used as a research material of language skills used in classes with students of the college “Synergy” (Moscow). Careful selection of the forms and content of the tasks in the workbooks enables students to master the disciplines and provides the effective use of the time allocated for practical training. It is important to repeat all the topics of the course, and draw students’ attention to the knowledge gaps, while monitoring the quality of assignments.

At the same time, classical forms of tasks and exercises are effective for solving various educational and methodological tasks. Practice has confirmed that the use of a workbook in each lesson had a positive effect on students’ mastery of grammatical and stylistic skills, which resulted with the high score on the final written exam at the end of the first year.
