Introduction: the article presents a qualitative analysis of the problem of language adaptation of migrant children in conditions of multicultural region. Materials and Methods: the article describes forms, methods and techniques aimed at developing communication skills in Russian children a foreign language in the multicultural educational environment. The study was conducted on the basis of use of theoretical (study and analysis of psycho-pedagogical, scientific-methodical and educational literature) and empirical methods (observation, conversation with students and teachers, language and literature of secondary schools). The results of the study: as a result of the analysis of the experience of teaching Russian language to children inophones in the schools of the Republic of Mordovia, we came to the conclusion that it is necessary to organize a systemic work on developing their communicative skills and habits. Discussion and Conclusions: today one of the main objectives of teaching children inophones at secondary school is the development of communicative competence, i.e. the ability and the readiness of such students to communicate in Russian-speaking environment and to achieve mutual understanding with native speakers of the Russian language. However, working with multicultural, multiethnic classroom, the teacher of language and literature cannot productively organize their activities as existing textbooks, curricula and traditional methods of teaching the Russian language aimed at children for whom Russian is the native language. This contradiction largely complicates the work with children inophones, the developed system requires their support.
