In the second part of the article authors describe the principles, taken as a textbooks forming basis, which can be useful in solving the problems mentioned: - principle of dialogue of languages and cultures, which helps to promote the understanding of language and cultural variety of the world in pupils; - communicative principle, which supposes the active pupil’s position during the study process; development of abilities to make an interpersonal dialogue to successfully participate in (including – dialogue with the culture text); considering perception of culture texts as active dialogue with their authors; - principle of integrative approach (by the meaning of integration the coordination of skills, knowledge and representation in pupils is understood; these abilities could be developed in pupils during the study of language and literature); - principle of the educational content’s integrity and variability. In the conclusion authors pay attention that the experience, which has been gained in the process of textbooks long-term approbation, allows to expand a culturological outlook of diaspora pupils, and also to purposefully and successfully improve dialogue, communicative, language and educational abilities in pupils.
