Introduction. A model of a quest lesson in the Russian language is proposed. The lesson is built around a trip to Russia: a station, a ticket, a train, a hotel, a city tour. The article examines the results of the chosen educational technology in the formation of functional literacy during Russian language lessons. It is shown that the successful completion of the adventure quest stages by students helps to master all types of speech activity (writing, reading, speaking, listening).

Materials and methods. When studying and describing the material, general theoretical research methods were used: synthesis, analysis, comparison, statistical methods were also applied in their elementary form; to substantiate the conclusions, an empirical research method was applied: a pedagogical experiment.

Results. As a result of the lesson, all types of functional literacy are formed. The article lists the subject and metasubject results of the educational activities of students who speak Russian as a native and as a non-native (foreign) one. It is substantiated that the development of linguocreative thinking by means of all types of speech activity (speaking, listening, reading, writing) is achieved by using the quest as an educational technology on the principle of "reflexive exit" and awareness of one's own sense-making activity.

Discussion. The general didactic task of a lesson in the form of a quest is to teach how to think logically, develop communication capabilities, and look for unconventional ways to solve problems. The obtained results of the study can serve as a basis for further study of the quest effectiveness as an educational technology in the process of teaching the Russian language.

Conclusion. When performing problematic tasks during the quest, the active vocabulary is expanded, the ability to apply educational subject knowledge in life situations is developed, and not only when performing an exercise in the lesson, i.e. general literacy of behavior is achieved.

A model of a quest lesson was proposed, which was successfully tested in different classes in the study of the Russian language;
