TERMINOLOGY STUDY BY FOREIGN STUDENTS AT THE PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT AT A TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY // Pedagogical Review. 2020. Issue 6 (34). P. 129-139

The issue of teaching Russian as a foreign language in a technical university in Russia is considered. The relevance is due both to the increase in the number of foreign students in Russian universities and the need for them to master the Russian language as soon as possible in order to continue their studies in Russian. The aim of the work is to describe the features of mastering Russian scientific vocabulary, the terminology of technical disciplines, in particular, the language of mathematics by foreign students studying at the preparatory department of the Tomsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (Building). A linguistic experiment was carried out, when students were offered to write a dictation, replete with scientific vocabulary. The results, as well as violations of pronunciation and spelling of terms have been described, since the main difficulty is precisely the study of the vocabulary of the scientific style of speech. The peculiarities of deviations from the standard were also identified, structured, and described. Options for the implementation of the program for the development of normative writing skills by foreign students were proposed. Rather difficult is the definition of the word boundary, writing letters at the end of a word, the perception of hissing consonants, paired consonants (unvoiced – voiced), soft – hard; determination of the gender of a noun (in most languages of the former Soviet Union there is no category of gender). This requires the necessity of elaborate thinking over the exercise types and their sequence in accordance with students’ needs. This work continues a series of methodical publications, the main aim of which is improving the quality of foreign student education in technical universities of Russia.

PECULIARITIES OF TEACHING RUSSIAN TO FOREIGN STUDENTS FROM KYRGYZSTAN IN TECHNICAL UNIVERSITIES OF TOMSK // Pedagogical Review. 2022. Issue 1 (41). P. 115-123

We live in the XXI century – the century of globalization, high speeds, crises, epidemics and pandemics. The time required radical changes in politics, economics, education; integration of economic and political systems of different countries. In this regard, questions of peaceful coexistence of different peoples and states arise, which must be resolved on a daily basis. The role and meaning of foreign languages are also changing: those that previously were of great interest to everyone around them fade into the background, their positions are conquered by others. Interest in the languages and culture of the peoples of the former USSR is growing. The article examines the issues of verbal communication culture in Kyrgyz families and, accordingly, some features of the Kyrgyz vocabulary. The relevance of the topic is due to the increase in the number of foreign students in Russia, as well as the mutual influence of the Kyrgyz and Russian languages. The influence of Russian culture and the Russian language on the formation of the lexical system and the development of the modern communicative culture of the Kyrgyz, which can be characterized as a culture of the collectivist type, is analyzed. The Kyrgyz language has not been studied enough, the scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it is included in a number of studies conducted in the Russian Federation and devoted to the study of foreign languages and Kyrgyz in particular, which undoubtedly demonstrates an interest in studying the peculiarities of the language and culture of the Kyrgyz ethnos. The practical novelty and significance of the work involves its use in the preparation of lectures on the theory of intercultural communication. As a result, it makes it possible to increase the efficiency of teaching Kyrgyz at universities of the Russian Federation. Knowing the peculiarities of mastering foreign vocabulary by the Kyrgyz, we can plan forms and methods of work, as well as learning outcomes. The aim of the work is to describe the communicative culture of communication of the Kyrgyz. A linguistic experiment has been carried out, some features of communication in Kyrgyz families have been revealed by the observation method. Minor differences were noted in the culture of northern and southern Kyrgyzstan. We were convinced that the culture of the Kyrgyz is of a collectivist nature of a vertical type. The most effective methods of studying the Russian language by the Kirghiz are described. Practical advice is given to reveal the abilities of students and to speed up the process of teaching the Russian language. This work continues a series of methodological works, the main goal of which is to increase the efficiency and quality of teaching the Russian language to foreign students in technical universities of the Russian Federation.
