Abstract

The article is dedicated to the teaching of Armenian place names in the 11th grade of high school. The study of the etymology of Armenian place names, conducted through the comparative analysis of various sources, provides excellent material for research using interesting and innovative methods. The proposed method, a case study, will enable high school students to examine the material comprehensively, uncover interesting and sometimes surprising aspects of the origins of place names, analyze them, and draw conclusions developing the foundations of critical thinking.
