In the context of educational digitalization and the development of digital humanities, the use of electronic linguistic resources has become increasingly important in the pedagogical practice of linguists. One of the most significant resources in this regard is the Russian National Corpus (RNC), a large-scale digital platform of authentic written and spoken texts equipped with linguistic annotation and advanced search tools. This article explores the potential of the Russian National Corpus as a перспективный digital tool in the pedagogical activity of linguists. The study analyzes key areas of corpus application in teaching sections of the language, including lexicology, grammar, stylistics, and text analysis. Special attention is paid to the typology of corpus-based tasks and their role in developing students’ research, analytical, and digital competences. The findings demonstrate that the integration of corpus technologies facilitates a shift from a reproductive teaching model to a research-oriented approach based on the analysis of real language data. The article also discusses methodological advantages and limitations of using the RNC in education, such as the need for didactic adaptation and teachers’ digital literacy. The study concludes that the systematic integration of the Russian National Corpus enhances the quality of linguistic education.
