In modern linguodidactics, new methods are being actively developed that can be applied in parallel in the traditional and remote format. Among innovative pedagogical technologies, quest technology fully corresponds to these parameters. In modern scientific and methodological works, this technology is recognized as effective and efficient. The article presents the development of an educational quest for philologists. The problem is stated in the name of the quest to identify the phenomenon of a miracle in the text of a fairy tale. The material was fairy tales of the peoples of the world. Each team chooses a fairy tale, conducts a cognitive analysis of the text in stages. The choice of this type of analysis is due to its active development in line with the cognitive paradigm, which ensures the relevance of the work. In the article we rely on the methodology of cognitive analysis by T.V.Romanova. Students make extensive use of electronic resources to perform cognitive analysis. As an illustration, fragments of the work of one team are given. The results in the field of cognitive science were the basis of the methodology of this article. A review of the works of researchers who use the texts of fairy tales to teach native and foreign languages is conducted, as well as works describing the application of quest technology in practice are also involved. Traditionally, the educational text is used as a source for practicing pronunciation, reading, writing, listening skills, as well as also the basis for the formation of communicative, linguocultural, country studies, and professional competencies. The scientific novelty of the work consists in choosing the subject and object of the research, demonstrating the stages of conducting cognitive analysis using the quest technology. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the approbation of cognitive analysis on the material of fairy tales and its further application in the educational process. The practical value lies in the use of the results obtained in the university practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language.
