TO THE QUESTION OF CROSS-CULTURAL INTERACTION WITHIN THE “BUSINESS FOREIGN LANGUAGE” DISCIPLINE AMONG MASTERS OF NON-LINGUISTIC SPECIALTIES ^{[№ 2 ' 2021]}
The development of speech communication forms a socially active person. The formation of students’ communicative competence is the primary task of forming a socially active person. And this task is based not only on the knowledge of the language system and the language material (speech), but also on compliance with social norms of speech communication, rules of speech behavior.
During our research it was determined that for successful business relationships, it is necessary to clearly assess the importance of different value systems and how these different value systems affect the success of cross-cultural interaction. A students’ and teachers’ survey revealed the ways to intensify speech activities in classes in the “Business Foreign Language” discipline in which behavior standard are also learned. These ways directly affect the assessments development that determine the perception of other people, relationships and the communication style with them. The authors pay special attention to the concepts definitions such as “culture”, “value”, peculiarities of behavior in various modern societies when conducting international business.
We have discovered that the implementation of a specific life target setting occurs in the interaction process between the participants in communication and proceeds on the basis of feedback in specific types of speech activities. Within the framework of the “Business Foreign Language” discipline, the teacher needs to include the material on intercultural issues for successful cross-cultural interaction. This should become an integral part of the work on the undergraduates’ socialization who acquire communication skills in the cross-cultural space within international activity taking part in meetings and negotiations organized in classes, presentations, as well as through various forms of written communication.
As a study result, it was found that the use of a personal-oriented methods complex helps to overcome the psychological barrier in the communication process and to form culture of speech behavior, which is a factor in the development of a person's value attitude to learning a foreign language. The knowledge of behavior practices, the study of international experience of communication, cultural values are the key to successful cross-cultural interaction.

PEDAGOGICAL POTENTIAL OF DISTANCE EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES NOWADAYS ^{[№ 4 ' 2020]}
Today, with the development of modern information means, distance learning technologies are widespread, which are rich in new situational material and can be modified in accordance with real educational needs and taking into account a differentiated approach. A special place among network learning technologies is taken by the Moodle platform as a learning management system. In the course of our study, it was determined that the Moodle system is becoming increasingly popular in many areas by providing a distance learning context that supports a student-centered methodology. Thestudents’ and teachers’ survey revealed the conditions of the Moodle system under which purposeful interaction between the teacher, students and electronic learning means is carried out. We have revealed that the methodology for creating educational podcasts plays a huge role both in the motivation development to learn a foreign language and in the development of students’ cognitive and communicative competence. The organization of active targeted interaction between the teacher, students and electronic teaching means is achieved through the use of an electronic educational environment, taking into account the capabilities of information and communication technologies, while students’ certain knowledge, skills, experience of work and behavior, professional and personal qualities are formed. The Internet and modern information and communication technologies have great pedagogical value and significantly expand foreign-language dialogue spaces. As a result of the study, it was found that the use of the Moodle system in teaching university students and organizing independent work on its basis combines the general principles of constructivist education and gives the teacher the opportunity to create a constructivist environment in order to improve teaching and learning.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES AS A FACTOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ FOREIGN LANGUAGE COMPETENCE ^{[№ 4 ' 2019]}
The system development of the foreign language competence is associated with the patterns governing the ascent of the individual to socially and professionally significant values. It is the volume of foreign information and cognitive potential and the formation of skills that determine value relations. A foreign language, as an academic subject, forms the value relationships of the student’s personality and is at the same time both the goal and the means of studying. Recognizing a foreign language as a socially significant value, the system development of the foreign language competence should be considered as the pattern process of transforming the student’s personality. The pattern of the system development of the foreign language competence for university students can be both internal (the state of the system at any time) and external (change from one stage of the development to another) order. The system of the foreign language competence is determined by a number of properties that it possesses at a certain moment due to the absence or presence of the elements of information and cognitive, activity and axiological blocks.
It was determined that pedagogical interaction provides the external conditions for the system development of the foreign language competence, as an external environment for the system functioning. As a subject of pedagogical interaction, a teacher represents the knowledge system and the values system, including a foreign language as the main value, transforming them through one’s own consciousness and one’s own scale of value relationships. We specified a number of features of the system development, and the development pattern is ensured through information interaction. The developed quantitative indicators of knowledge determine the relationship of information and cognitive and activity elements of the foreign language competence. The volume and the quality of information entering the system of the foreign language competence are reflected in the qualitative indicators of foreign language knowledge and skills.
The use of electronic educational environment, taking into account the possibilities of information and communication technologies, contributes to the organization of active, targeted interaction between the teacher, the students and electronic learning tools, and also forms the student's certain knowledge, skills, experience and behavior, professional and personal qualities.

NONLINGUISTIC SPECIALTIES STUDENTS LINGUISTIC AND COMMUNICATIVE TRAININGEXPERIENCE (ON ORENBURG STATE UNIVERSITY EXAMPLE) ^{[№ 2 ' 2015]}
The authors of this article have set a goal — to identify problem tasks exemplary system in teaching students of nonlinguistic specialties in higher education institutions. According to them, the process of bachelor's degree obtaining should not only be limited to the appropriation and consumption of knowledge, but also to its production. Employment problematic nature and an appeal to the controversial issues can significantly contribute to the creative level of teaching. Teachers of the foreign languages department are based on the fact that foreign language speech learning is the main component of professional training, while the skills acquired by students at the university, and the skills needed in the future professional activities, far apart, and in the process of learning a foreign language students do not develop communication skills. Students perceive that a foreign language is not worthwhile thing. This causes to build practical classes in the way that maximum interest of students is used to foreign language tuition. The authors believe that the language studying in the Orenburg State University is not only the development of the provisions of grammar, ability to read and translate specialized texts, but also from the study of the culture of the country the language is spoken. Teachers have developed a work program on language learning based on international standards and different levels of complexity. The foreign languages learning system proposed by the authors creates a number of necessary students competencies — linguistic, communicative, general cultural that allows teachers to successfully teach productive participation of students in vocational-oriented speech activity in writing and orally. New life conditions radically changed the task of training specialists, knowing foreign languages. Responsible attitude towards speech and formed productive linguistic consciousness determine professional success.
