The article seeks to formulate a thesaurus for future philogists. Kazakhstan has implemented new and heightened requirements for the training of specialists, subsequently modernizing the education system and creating a need for new educational methods to adapt to the constantly shifting field of new technologies. This work provides a brief overview of the methods and principles used to compile a system of exercises and their typology. The necessity of improving the quality of future specialists' training through the development and enhancement of their thesaurus as a key component of linguistic identity is particularly emphasized. The authors attempt to demonstrate that a systematic, phased, and in-depth study of core disciplines (particularly within the framework of postgraduate professional education) aimed at forming a specialized vocabulary (thesaurus) can contribute to enhancing the quality of professional training for future philologists. Using comparative, contextual, and descriptive methods, the authors analyzed the undergraduate educational programs of the Faculty of Philology at Al-Farabi university in the “Russian Language and Literature” specialization. A survey was designed and conducted among students to assess their knowledge of specialized terminology in the field of “Russian Language” at the initial, intermediate, and final stages of their studies. Quantitative and statistical calculations were employed to substantiate and interpret the obtained research results. Based on the above, the necessity of optimizing the process of teaching terminological vocabulary is substantiated.
