This article presents the experience of implementation of folklore and dialectological practice of philology students of I. Yakovlev Chuvash State Pedagogical University. The relevance of the study, which is conditioned by the improvement of the quality of training of a competitive language and literature teacher, increases due to the need of a modern school for qualified teachers. Collecting of oral folk art and dialects will help the student to understand the centuries-old history of the people, and to understand the importance of collecting work. The goals of folklore and dialectology practice are to deepen and consolidate the materials of the theoretical courses «Oral Folk Art» and «Russian Dialectology», to master the techniques and acquire the skills of collecting, systematizing, and archiving folklore and dialect material. In the course of this practice, students acquire practical skills of recording, classifying and systematizing field material based on the study of regional traditions; they fill up the folklore and dialectological archive, master the skills of archival activity using new information technologies, and become involved in independent research activities. The paper focuses on the history and geography of folklore and dialectological practice, the methods of its implementation and the results achieved, which contribute to the development of the research potential of students.
