In みんなの日本語初級I book I've noticed the word ことば as the meaning of language (English, Japanese, Russian etc), but as I've got the most proper word for this type of language is 言語。The first variant (which is used in the book) is more for some abstract language. Why this one is used here?

言語 is more of an academic term, while ことば is more colloquial and accessible. 言語 is normally used with longer compound words. Functionally, though, they mean the same thing.
Although the example that you posted is technically academic, the use of furigana does indicate that it is designed either for younger Japanese or for non-native speakers. Hence, ことば is more accessible (as @tarkma has pointed out).

I think the word ことば is used here simply because it is an easier word. In the Japanese education system, the word 言語 is introduced in second grade according to this.
