Abstract

The authors of the article focus on the actualization of the issue of the current status, concept, content and ways of implementing educative teaching of Russian as a foreign language in the context of new social challenges.
Through the method of historical retrospect, the process of development (from an ideological and methodological point of view) and the formation of "education" as an integral element of a complex technology of teaching first native and then foreign languages is traced. Based on a comparative analysis of the place and role of socio-cultural competence in mastering speech activity in a non-native language (in our case – Russian), as well as as a result of studying the degree of realization of the educational aspect in modern textbooks on Russian as a foreign language, it is concluded that there is a tendency to replace the educational function of the pedagogical process with a communicative or general educational one (up to leveling the first one), which directly determines the need to develop a new methodological strategy for creating textbooks of Russian as a foreign language.
As a potentially adequate to the formulated request, a new author's method is proposed – Casual illustrated narrative (CIN), – successfully tested in teaching Russian to foreign speakers representing various ethno–cultural communities, both inside and outside Russia – in the linguo-pedagogical work of teachers of language schools / universities of China, Italy, USA, and providing, from the point of view of the authors, the principle of using the ternary system necessary for the implementation of the concept of educative teaching – communicative, general education, educational – system-forming logic.
The results of the study may be of interest in the linguo-didactic understanding of the problems of educative teaching of foreign languages in a broad perspective, as well as used in the theoretical and practical development of new technologies for creating educational tools in Russian as a foreign language.

Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of the linguistic and cultural adaptation of the English language and the American English as a means of global communication in a multicultural community. The aim of the research is to conduct a comprehensive language and cultural analysis of borrowed units from British English and American English into the autochthonous languages of Pashto and Dari, functioning on the territory of Afghanistan, to determine their lexical and phonetic changes in the process of intercultural adaptation. The complex nature of the linguistic and cultural adaptation of Anglicisms in the autochthonous languages of Afghanistan is due to the long process of military operations, on the one hand, and the need to focus on cooperation with European countries at the present stage of development, on the other hand. The specificity of lexical units borrowed from British English and American English, formed under the influence of globalization and the needs of modern Afghan society, is also associated with phonetic changes and linguistic and cultural adaptation of borrowed units which is dictated by the influence of the phonetic system of local languages. The research work is carried out in line with the language and cultural approach and is based on the use of linguistic, cultural and sociological methods. The research uses the methodology of content analysis, narrative analysis, and the method of linguistic reconstruction of culture. As a result of the work, the spheres of social life of Afghans are identified for productive functioning spheres of high-frequency borrowings from English and American English into modern languages of Afghanistan, this process is dictated by the influence of extra linguistic factors, the key of which is economic development and political cooperation in the period of globalization of the world community. Borrowed lexical units are the subject to phonetic and lexical transformation processes which is dictated by the specifics of the autochthonous languages majority Pashto and Dari.

Abstract

This article examines the current state of the French language in Ivory Coast. The relevance of the study is related to the lack of research on the state of French in Ivory Coast, represented by the following varieties: Ivorian Popular French, Ivorian French and the Nouchi language code. Nouchi, an integral part of Ivory Coast's linguistic system and a crucial factor of Ivorian identity, remains a poorly researched phenomenon today. The aim of the work is to objectively describe the phonetic, morphological, lexical and syntactic changes that take place in French on the territory of Ivory Coast in a situation of interaction with the autochthonous languages under the influence of extralinguistic factors. The scientific novelty lies in the integrated approach to the study of the French language system in Ivory Coast and the differences between each of the varieties of French and standard French. The research uses general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special methods (descriptive and comparative methods). The analysis of the French language system shows the distinctive features of the French varieties from the standard French on the phonetic, morphological, lexical and syntactical levels. Ivorian Popular French is characterised by the greatest influence from the autochthonous languages and numerous features at all levels of the language, caused by the lack of education of its speakers. The continuity and interconnectedness of all the varieties of language examined is highlighted: the oldest variant of Ivorian Popular French became the basis for the formation of modern Ivorian French. Nouchi, on the other hand, combines earlier variants of French with borrowings from the autochthonous and European languages. Ivorian French and Nouchi are now widespread in all social strata and contribute to the issue of Ivorian self-determination.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the development of the linguistic and cultural outlook of students of non-linguistic specialties in the process of teaching language and culture, since for the formation of a linguistic personality it is very important to possess not only communicative competence, but also to be able to use intercultural knowledge for self-improvement. In the system of teaching foreign languages, one of the main goals of training is the formation of a personality capable of conducting successful intercultural communication, establishing intercultural contacts, and a decent representation of native culture. achieving these goals is possible with the help of many factors. Not only the knowledge of the language at a high level, but also the possession of cultural experience, knowledge, skills and skills of intercultural communication determines the qualified specialist in demand. Therefore, the inclusion of phraseological units from different languages in the educational process allows expanding the horizons of students, forming their linguistic and cultural culture.

Abstract

Modeling associative fields is one of the urgent missions of psycholinguistics. This contributes to establishing the nature of the speech actions, which reflect psychological, linguistic, ethnoand socio-cultural information. In this paper, the associates for the verbal stimuli Россия and Russia, presented in the associative dictionaries of the Russian and English languages, are analyzed. Analysis of the nature of the means of prediction allowed us to establish the predominance of conceptual reactions in the structure of the associative fields Россия and Russia: in Russian associative dictionaries their share is about 40%, in the Edinburgh associative thesaurus it is 51%, in the dictionary of free associations, rhyme and word fragment norms of South Florida – 53%. Reactions-representations contain extralinguistic information reflecting autoand heterostereotypes about Russia in a certain historical period of time. The largest share of associated representations was found in the Edinburgh Associative Thesaurus (39%). Most reactions of this type are associated with the successes of the USSR in the space sphere directly during the period of collecting and fixing associative data (sputnik, satellite, cosmos, space, space program, etc.). The presentation reactions of American subjects are less frequent (37%). For Americans, Russia is something far away and foreign. Also, in the experiment with the participation of Americans, the connections of the incentive Russia with the Second World War and its consequences (Berlin wall, Nazi, Hitler, cold war) were actualized. Reactions-representations in associative dictionaries of the Russian language reflect autostereotypes: strength and greatness (великая, сила, мощь), spaciousness (большая, простор, громада, размах)), etc. The share of operational reactions in Russian associative dictionaries decreased by 14%, which indicates the leveling of language guidelines when updating speech action. The models of associative fields of Russia contain a low percentage of operational reactions, which indicates an insufficient level of "appropriation" of a fragment of reality represented by a stimulus word.

Abstract

The article deals with the identification of the image of the family in the minds of the Russian-speaking representatives of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan and with the comparison of the resulting image with the image of the family in the minds of representatives of Russian culture. The relevance of the study is determined by the insufficient research of the Kyrgyz linguistic picture of the world from the point of view of psycholinguistics.
Free association experiment and semantic gestalt technique were key research methods. The author analyzed 259 associations obtained in the course of a free associative experiment and the results of a directed associative experiment in which 82 participants took part. The identification of the image of the family concept in the minds of the bearers of Russian culture was based on the the associations recorded in the associative dictionaries of the Russian language (the Russian Regional Associative Dictionary Thesaurus and the Slavic Associative Dictionary) were analyzed. A total of 1130 associations from two dictionaries were analyzed. The data obtained during the free associative experiment, as well as the associations recorded in lexicographic sources, were analyzed using the semantic gestalt technique of Yu. N. Karaulov.
As a result of the study, the structure of the associative field of the stimulus word family among representatives of modern Kyrgyz culture was determined. In the course of a comparative analysis, similarities and differences in the associative gestalt of representatives of Russian and Kyrgyz culture were identified.
The theoretical and practical significance of the work is due, first of all, to the fact that the methodology used in the work, can be successfully applied in organizing and conducting further psycholinguistic research of both the Kyrgyz and any other culture. The obtained results can be used in the course of studying courses in the theory of language, psycholinguistics, linguoculturology, intercultural communication.

Abstract

The purpose of the study. The article aims to identify in the scientific and methodological media discourse those ways of its linguistic design that can ensure the effectiveness of communication and stimulate the use of the information received by the addressee in his own practice in the future.
Methods. The method of discourse analysis was used, which allows us to consider both different types of pragmatic effect and linguistic ways to achieve it. This method also made it possible, when analyzing the material, to predict the receptive cognitive space of the personality of the perceiving subject for whom this or that effect is calculated. Thus, both the pragmatic intentions of the authors of the texts and the factor of their target audience were taken into account. The traditional method of systematization and classification of the data obtained by the continuous sampling technique was also used.
Results. It is established that, as pragmatic attitudes, the authors of the texts propose to cause a "delayed response" of the addressee-a professional, due to his cognitive abilities to process new information and its practical use. Based on these attitudes, the choice of effective methods is based on the expansion of the methods of speech influence characteristic of the discourse of mass communication. Typical methods of scientific and methodological discourse are linguocognitive techniques (appeal to authority, presupposition, inducement to active cognitive activity), as well as linguistic techniques for creating stylistic effects: interest (attracting attention), intertextuality, verbal clarity, emotional empathy, trust, polemics and direct conversation, presence and involvement.
Conclusion. In the field of pedagogical and, within its framework, methodological discourse, there is a process of discursive convergence, which, thanks to the use of typical linguistic means to achieve the identified communicative and pragmatic effects, acquires the features of popular scientific presentation (especially due to the methods of dialogization), offering the pedagogical community methodological foundations for future educational projects.

Abstract

The purpose of research is to conduct a theoretical psycholinguistic analysis of the phenomenon of "emotional intelligence", and to answer the following questions: 1) if emotional intelligence can be considered a syncretic psychological phenomenon or is it just a kind of general intelligence; 2) how and when emotional intelligence is formed in the process of ontogenesis; 3) to what extent the level of formation of emotional intelligence correlates with the level of development of speech ability.
Methods. On the basis of L.S. Vygotsky's theory of speech activity, cognitive, constructivist theories of language ontogenesis, in particular, the theory of phasing and continuity of speech and cognitive development, a descriptive and comparative analyses of the models of emotional intelligence of Mayer-Salovey-Caruso, Goleman, Reuven Bar-On and the model of emotional literacy of Steiner is carried out. From the standpoint of modern psychology and psycholinguistics, the process of forming the abilities that make up the essence of the phenomenon of emotional intelligence is analyzed.
The results. The considered models allowed us to identify a phenomenological core – emotions and their manifestations – that coincides in all. All models assume a priori the presence of abilities to perceive, control and understand their own emotions and emotional states and those in other people. It is proved that these abilities have continuity and are formed in the complex of all social interactions of the child in parallel with cognitive and speech development. The matter of the syncretic nature of the phenomenon of emotional intelligence is dismissed.
Conclusion. Emotional intelligence is not a separate psychological education, but serves as a marker of the development of the cjgnitive functions, it is a "by-product" of the cognitive, speech and mental development of the child in the norm.

Abstract

This paper sets out to share the results of research into reasons of mistakes made in English abstracts for Russian scientific writings published in peer-reviewed journals on linguistics and language teaching with a view to identifying most common difficulties that researches face when translating this type of text. The authors also seek to develop ways of preventing typical mistakes. The undertaken research is relevant, as it contributes to expanding knowledge in the field of teaching translation with regard to two current tendencies, namely the increasing number of scientific publications in the field of humanities and the tightening requirements for translated abstracts introduced by editorial boards of scientific journals. With both tendencies in view, careful attention to this type of scientific text is to be paid by curriculum and Master’s Degree programs developers, as well as the teaching staff responsible for professionally oriented translation, professional communication and other related subjects. The source of material for this research is published English abstracts to Russian articles on linguistic and language teaching issues. The main research methods are comparative, linguo-stylistic and semantic analysis. As a result of the study most common lexical and grammatical mistakes are revealed, systematized and described. General conclusions are made and recommendations for coping with translation challenges are given, which contributes both to the theory and practice of translating scientific texts.

Abstract

The article is devoted to such an important socio-cultural aspect of human life as obtaining professional and intercultural competencies in the process of educational activity. According to the author, Latin is a fusion of philological information and language skills, as well as legal norms, history, traditions, ethnic characteristics of behavior and thinking of native speakers of the language and culture. The author believes that in the long term, the task of foreign language education in an institution of higher professional education is the formation of a multilingual, well-educated person who is able to apply his knowledge in the process of professional intercultural communication. The above factors determine the relevance of the chosen topic. The subject of the study is professional and intercultural competencies formed with the direct participation of the Latin language. The object is the Latin language as an academic discipline of the curriculum of medical specialties. In the course of the research, the author aims to study the role of the Latin language in the process of professional development of medical university students as an integral part of the general humanitarian direction. For the successful realization of this goal, scientific sources of literature were analyzed. The methodological basis of the study is determined by the purpose of the work and is presented by the following methods: random sampling, definitional analysis, comparison and classification. Special attention in the successful acquisition of professional competencies of future specialists is paid to the interdisciplinary approach in training. As a result of the successful formation of competencies, students acquire not only knowledge of medical and biological terminology, but also the ability to use the acquired knowledge in simulated or real clinical conditions, as well as gain practical experience in operating with medical vocabulary in their future professional activities.

Abstract

The article dwells on the experience of using an authentic text in the classroom with foreign students.
The relevance of the study is due to the scientific, theoretical and practical significance of the problems associated with understanding and adequate interpretation of the new linguoculture and is determined by the search for optimal tools for language teaching within Russian linguoculture, the study of which involves identifying the specifics of the worldview of Russian speakers, understanding the mentality of the inhabitants of Russia as a whole and the region in particular, where foreigners are trained. The scientific value and novelty of the research lie in the development of tools – a linguocultural commentary to authentic texts of a regional theme – in order to develop communicative and linguocultural competencies.
The study is carried out on the material of the essay by E.I. Nosov “The Road Home”, which reflects Kursk regional realities, thus allowing to update linguocultural knowledge and develop communication skills. The object of commenting in a foreign audience is, first of all, vocabulary with a pronounced national and cultural component: archaisms, historicisms, neologisms, anthroponyms, toponyms, phraseological units, etc.
The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach that integrates knowledge from various fields of science: linguoculturology, philology, cognitive linguistics, and linguodidactics. In the process of research, such methods as commenting, statistical, comparative-analytical methods were used.
To assess the effectiveness of the methodology of linguocultural commenting on the authentic text, a test was conducted in the experimental and control groups of foreign students. The results of the test showed that the linguocultural commentary contributes to the understanding and adequate perception of the new linguoculture, the development of communicative competence.

Abstract

Relevance. The study is connected with the need for a theoretical, methodological and empirical justification for the existence of unified normative-typical methods and forms of response, in the form of coping strategies that are routinely used by a person in a situation of confrontation with stress, and serve as a way to regulate any conflict situations.
The purpose . To analyze the connection between the dominant coping strategy of the individual and the way of conflict regulation.
Objectives. Explore the dominant coping strategies of respondents and the features of response and conflict resolution; reveal the existence of a connection between dominant coping strategies and methods of conflict management.
Methodology The research methodology is based on the principles of consciousness and activity, the principle of determinism, the principle of the activity of the subject, the cultural and historical concept of L.S. Vygotsky, as well as on personality-oriented approaches to the study of individual strategies, styles and methods of coping behavior and conflict resolution of the individual.
Results. A direct correlation was found between the strategy of overcoming stressful situations "Confrontation" and the method of conflict regulation "Competition" and inversely proportional relationship between the parameters "Confrontation" and "Cooperation". Direct correlation between the strategy of overcoming stressful situations "Distancing" and the method of conflict regulation "Avoidance" and inversely proportional relationship between the parameters "Distance" and "Cooperation". Direct correlation between the strategy of coping with stressful situations "Search for social support" and such methods of conflict regulation as "Cooperation" and "Compromise". Direct correlation between the strategy of coping with stressful situations "Escape-Avoidance" and such methods of conflict regulation as "Avoidance" and "Adaptation". Direct weak correlation was found between the strategy of coping with stressful situations "Positive reassessment" and the method of conflict regulation "Adaptation".
Conclusion. There are basic behavioral constructs that determine the strategies of a person's behavior when faced with stress and (or) a conflict situation, which are normative-typical forms of emotional, behavioral and cognitive response, which are standardly used by a person in a situation with stress factors, and in any conflict situation.

Abstract

Intra-family relations are the main component of the educational potential of the family. In our society, they are conditioned by state and domestic relations. Their significance in the formation and development of the individual is due to the fact that they are the central link in social relations in which the individual enters into the process of his personal growth.
The family is the main phenomenon that accompanies a person throughout his life. Its influence on the personality, its complexity and versatility give rise to many approaches to the study of the family and definitions that can be found in the scientific literature. The object of study is the family as a social institution, a small group or a system of relationships.
The purpose of the presented pilot psychological study was to study the influence of types of family education on the formation and development of the emotional-volitional component in student age.
The paper studies such characteristics as student age, emotional-volitional sphere, types of family education, family, emotions and will.
In the work, a bibliometric analysis of the research problem was carried out, an experiment was carried out. Thanks to the psychological experiment, the types of family education and their influence on the development of the emotional-volitional sphere of such a category as students were determined.
The results of the study are based on a systemic, axiological, humanistically oriented methodological component. The methods of pilot psychological research were experiment, observation, survey, method of statistical processing of results.

Abstract

The article investigates the features of the life values of adolescents with manifestations of delinquent behavior in the ontogenetic aspect. The relevance of the study is justified by the significant interest and relevance of research issues to identify the causes of delinquent behavior, on the one hand, and significant changes in the structural and content aspect of delinquency, on the other.
The study involved 120 people. The sample was divided into 4 groups according to age and manifestations of delinquent behavior: experimental group Э1 included adolescents 12-14 years old with delinquent behavior, experimental group Э2 included adolescents 15-17 years old with delinquent behavior, control group К1 included adolescents 12-14 years old without delinquent behavior, control group К2 included adolescents 15-17 years without manifestations of delinquent behavior.
The morphological test of life values was used in the study (V. F. Sopov, L. V. Karpushina). This technique allows us to analyze the system of terminal life values and study the motivational and value structure of the personality. The morphological test of life values includes 8 types of life values: preservation of individuality, one's own prestige, social contacts, achievements, self-development, creativity, financial situation, spiritual satisfaction, which can be correlated with various spheres of life: professional life, training and education, family life, social activity, physical activity, hobbies.
According to the results of the study, the features of life values characteristic of all adolescents with delinquent behavior were revealed: a decrease in the severity of life values, the lack of a stable orientation of the personality, a decrease in the severity of life spheres in which life values could be formed and realized. The ontogenetic aspect is revealed in the strengthening of this trend as we grow older.

Abstract

The paper deals with such concepts as «social-psychological training» and «stress resistance»; the features of the application of this method in the formation of students' stress resistance are studied.
One of the primary tasks of modern society in working with youth is the formation of a high level of sociopsychological adaptation. Currently, an active search and development of new forms and methods of both individual and group work with students is underway. In the diverse arsenal of methodological tools, a special place is given to socio-psychological training.
The purpose of this psychological study was to study the features of the use of socio-psychological training as a means of forming students' stress resistance. During the primary diagnosis, two groups of students (control and experimental) were identified with a low level of stress resistance and a high level of stress.
As part of the formative experiment, we developed and implemented a program of psychological support for students. Classes were held in the experimental group once a week for two months. After the formative experiment, the control stage of the study was carried out. At the control stage, the changes in the level of stress and stress tolerance of those who took (experimental group) and those who did not take part (control group) in the program were compared, thus, the effectiveness of the program of psychological support of students developed by us was tested. For re-diagnosis, the same methods were used as in the primary diagnosis at the ascertaining stage of the study.
The methodological basis of the work was the theoretical provisions on the development of the group in the process of joint activity (L.G. Pochebut, G.M. Andreeva, E.S. Kuzmin, R.S. Nemov, etc.); ideas about the sociopsychological characteristics of the group (M.I. Bobneva, V.S. Ageev, P.K. Anokhin, etc.); conceptual foundations of personality development in the course of a specially organized psychological impact (A. Bandura, S.I. Makshanov, K. Levin, etc.); understanding and implementation of the methodology and methodology of socio-psychological training (L.A. Petrovskaya, Yu.N. Emelyanov, S.I. Makshanov).The research methods were theoretical analysis of scientific research; organizational methods; empirical methods: observation, psychodiagnostic methods, methods of statistical data processing.
Comparative analysis of changes in the experimental and control groups (increase in stress resistance, reduction of stress and tension levels according to the corresponding coping strategies) allowed us to draw conclusions about the potential of applying the method of socio-psychological training in the formation of students' stress resistance.
