Abstract. The aim of the study is to determine the prospects of using visual materials for teaching Russian as a foreign language to university students based on the analysis of the dynamics of polycode texts presentation in test collections over the past 15 years. The paper provides the results of a content analysis, comparative analysis, and statistical analysis of 11 preparatory materials for testing at the First and Second Level Certificate in Russian as a foreign language (B1 and B2) published from 2008 to 2020. The scientific novelty of the study lies in analysing preparatory materials for Russian as a foreign language testing to identify the use of polycode texts, classifying the discovered polycode texts by type, exploring the dynamics of their development and proposing methods to expand their application. The findings indicate a general trend towards an increase in the quantity and variety of polycode texts in preparatory materials for Russian as a foreign language testing. In test collections for levels B1 and B2 published from 2008 to 2013, polycode texts are used only as black-and-white illustrations accompanying texts and diagrams with test tasks. Furthermore, tests for level B2 contain references to video materials for preparation for the Speaking and Writing subtests. In test collections released from 2013 to 2020, there is a significant number of diverse polycode texts for both B1 and B2 levels.
