Relying solely on GDZ for copying answers, rather than understanding the underlying grammatical principles, hinders genuine learning and language proficiency [3].
Passive completion of assignments prevents the development of analytical skills, which are crucial for success on the EGE exam [3].
The use of "Gotovye Domashnie Zadania" (GDZ) or ready-made homework solutions for the 11th-grade English textbook by V.P. Kuzovlev is a widespread practice among Russian high school students, offering both significant advantages and potential drawbacks for language acquisition. These resources serve as a digital or printed guide providing solutions to exercises found in the textbook, aiming to help students navigate complex curriculum demands.
11th grade is a high-pressure year, with students balancing preparations for the Unified State Exam (EGE) alongside regular classes. Kuzovlev’s curriculum can be complex, and GDZ provides a way to quickly complete tasks, freeing up time for other subjects or rest [1].
Students can use these resources to check their work, identifying mistakes in grammar, vocabulary, or sentence structure, thereby understanding the correct usage [2].
