Teaching of heroic epics in Azerbaijani textbooks

Abstract

Folk art is a monument of material and spiritual art of any nation. The role of our epics is invaluable in strengthening our people's rich social past, life, traditions, love of the motherland, hatred of the enemy in student thinking, full of heroic deeds transferred from language to language, from memory to writing. Life and time require that the basis of the ways of raising a warlike army and brave sons begins with epics and its teaching at a high level. Our epics do not at all instill in the disciple's mind the ideas of shedding blood and waging war. On the contrary, our people have historically been supporters of peace and tranquility. And the heroes of our epics fought against foreign invaders, injustice and oppression. This glorious path they have traveled should serve as an example for modern youth. It is from this point of view that I tried to analyze the epics given in the textbook of the Azerbaijani language in my article.

By using folklore genres in the learning process, we can create a broad idea of our historical past in student thinking.
