Teaching young scientists how to write abstracts for presentations at conferences

Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of a set of tasks for teaching bachelor, master and postgraduate students to write abstracts of speeches at scientific and scientific-practical conferences. Studies and publications on the formulated problem are analyzed, and a conclusion is made about insufficient attention of researchers to the practical side of the issue. Three stages have been introduced in the preparation of young scientists for writing abstracts in accordance with the qualification levels recorded in the National Qualifications Framework: preparatory (providing conceptual and methodological knowledge in the field of abstracts writing), main (development of special skills in the field of writing abstracts in the sphere of teaching foreign languages methods) and the final one (development and improvement of the skills of editing and text design, compliance with the norms of academic integrity, self-analysis). Each of the stages includes a series of tasks. In general, the tasks are developed from providing knowledge about the types of abstracts to teaching self-analysis of the prepared for publication abstracts quality. Completion of tasks involves the widespread use of various Internet services.
