Summary/Abstract: The topic of this article is a conception of language as the subject of teaching. Taking into account the low standard of Russian teaching — despite the constant improvement of the syllabuses, aids and methods — the author has come to the conclusion that the knowledge of the orthography, vocabulary, correct reading etc., is not sufficient for acquiring the language itself. In the teaching process due regard should be paid to the communicative function of language, teaching the language synthesis and the ability to produce texts. The author considers it advisable to adopt the conception of language that would combine the lexico-grammatical material (system), syntactico-semantic conditions in which it functions (text) and the language habits. By “text” the author means the social norm of the use o f grammatical and lexical forms as opposed to individual texts which - inependently of their character - are specific manifestations of this norm (in other words – the text of the language).
