methodology, the concepts of "structured" and "selected" text differ from each other. Both types of 
texts serve as reading material in English language teaching. 
Taking into account that the texts from the English language textbooks are not authentic, it is necessary 
to select texts in English for high school students and apply them to the educational process. 
In methodical literature, "selection" refers to the process and product of sorting the texts, whose 
content is formed by the writer, adapted in terms of language and volume by the English language 
teacher or the author of the textbook to the conditions of the upper class. The original text or an adapted 
copy is recommended for reading in English language textbooks. 
It is known that role-playing the content of the text read in English, expressing the thoughts of the 
characters in the text in their own words encourages independent thinking and the ability to express 
one's opinion freely. Therefore, reading is an important tool of education. The following 
methodological requirements are followed when selecting texts on country studies in English: (1) the 
selected texts on country studies correspond to the age characteristics of students; (2) the texts 
recommended to students serve to form their general level; (3) that the presented texts reflect rich 
information about the political and social structure, national culture, and customs of the country whose 
language is being studied; (4) it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the norms of the English 
language are reflected in the selection of texts, and that they are in a scientific-journalistic style. 
Methodological concepts such as "selection source", "selection criteria", "selection unit" have been 
studied in methodological literature when selecting texts related to country studies. 
understanding , language material is divided into active and passive minima. Active knowledge of the 
language means perfect knowledge of all the main types of speech activity - speaking, listening, 
reading and writing. Passive knowledge of the language is the ability to understand spoken and written 
text. 
Selection criteria are measurements and indicators that help determine the value of a text. It has been 
studied in research that the following methodological criteria are the basis for choosing texts 
recommended for reading in English language textbooks: calculation criteria, methodological criteria, 
linguistic criteria. 
Linguistic criteria for the selection of texts are based on the combination of words in the texts, the 
possibility of word formation, polysemy, stylistically unrestricted, demarcation (isolation) of 
synonyms, and participation in sentence formation. 
According to the combination criterion, it is assumed that the word selected in the texts can be 
combined with others as much as possible, and in the word formation criterion, more new units are 
created from them.
